8 Servings
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
1 | \N | Fresh coconut* |
1 | teaspoon | Cumin seeds |
1 | pounds | Granny Smith apples |
2 | tablespoons | Fresh lemon juice |
½ | large | Bunch cilantro, stemmed |
2 | \N | Serrano or jalapeno chilies, seeded, stemmed, halved |

*Buy a heavy coconut that has no cracks and that sounds full of liquid when shaken.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
After draining liquid from coconut, bake until shell begins to crack, about 30 minutes. Tap coconut shell with hammer to remove shell. (The white meat with its brown skin should fall away from shell; if it doesn't, use paring knife to release meat.) Using paring knife, cut away brown skin from coconut, if desired. Rinse coconut. Coarsely chop in processor to measure ¾ cup (reserve remaining coconut for another use).
Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes (do not burn). Transfer seeds to plate; cool. Finely grind seeds in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle.
Core apples; cut into ½-inch pieces. Place apples in medium bowl.
Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Combine ¾ cup coconut, cumin, apples and all remaining ingredients in processor. Chop finely.
(Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
