Achara, or atsara, means pickled green papaya.
Achara is a traditional Philippine food which is a pickle relish.
The green papaya is shredded and the following ingredients are needed: Carrots, ginger, onions and bell peppers are added to the papaya to turn it into achara.
The pickling solution–a mixture of vinegar, sugar and salt–preserves the papaya and the vegetables. In air-tight jars, achara will keep even without refrigeration.
After the jar has been opened, however, it is best to refrigerate . I love achars which has been days old . The taste is great and appetizing.
