What goes with Rambutan?
Rambutan has a hairy shell around a pale, translucent aril and a central seed. The flesh can cling tightly to the seed, making clean removal more difficult than its appearance suggests. The edible aril, rather than the shell or seed, is the ingredient considered in this profile.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Rambutan?
Use rambutan as a discrete juicy element in a chilled preparation or add it late to a warm sauce. Lime, herbs and chilli need restraint because the fruit's aroma is relatively quiet. A thick, forceful curry can erase the fruit's contribution unless the arils remain large enough to be encountered separately.
