  • About

Chayote, cho-chos, or chrlstophines look a bit like pears and have a subtle flavor, between a melon and a cucumber, with a crisp texture. You’ll find them in ethnic stores and they are one of the more popular Caribbean vegetables, but they are also used in Asian and Mexican cooking.

Ingredients

  • 2 chayote, thinly sliced
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2-in [

Method

Parboil the chayote slices for 5 minutes in boiling, salted water, then drain. Heat the coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet and fry the chayote slices with the ginger, garlic and thyme. Add the scallions with the pear, if using, and season with salt.
