STEWED CHAYOTE



Stewed Chayote image

A pleasant, somewhat summery side dish from M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger. Especially good with flaky white fish or grilled chicken. I think that the salad and veggie seasoning adds a nice flavor, but omit it if you are avoiding MSG. The chayote is just fine without it.

Provided by Muffin Goddess

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 chayotes, peeled (also known as mirliton or chuchu in some regions)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tomatoes, cored,seeded and diced
1/2 cup water
1 envelope salad and veggie seasoning (I use Goya brand) (optional)

Steps:

  • Quarter the chayote.
  • Remove and discard the center seed of each.
  • Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the chayote, and boil for 5 minutes.
  • Drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat.
  • Cook the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
  • Add the chayote, tomatoes, and water.
  • Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Serve immediately.
  • NOTE: If you can't locate chayotes (usually found in the tropical or exotic produce section), try using zucchini or cucumbers (yes, cucumbers can be cooked like zucchini).
  • These are the closest matches to chayote, taste- and texture-wise.
