Ingredients[]
- 12 oz green tomatoes or tomatillos, cored and cut into ½ inch dice

Directions[]
- Place the green tomatoes, onions, and papayas in a large heavy pot.

- Stir well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer uncovered until the mixture is thick, about 1 hour.
