Look for chayote at supermarkets, Latin markets, and natural foods stores — it's a light-green pear-shaped squash that's mild and crisp.
Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Preparation
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chayote, 1 tablespoon parsley, and garlic. Sauté until chayote is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in green onions. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

Back to TopThis technique was frankly, a revelation. It showcases the mild sweet crispness of the veg. I had always had the poor things soggy and overcooked. Now I look forward to the next time I see them cheap!

Nothing special. Good intro to chayote for a first timer. Will look for other recipes next time for chayote.

I used olive oil to veganize the dish, and it was still superb. The chayote was sweet and crisp and with the garlic, it provided a deliciously mellow dish. I served this with black beans, spanish rice, and a cilantro-dressed slaw. I'm going to make it again tonight!

Really tasty! The chayote is so crisp and sweet. Plus, the goodness of butter.

This easily cooked to a perfect crisp-tender stage. It has a nice delicate butter-garlic flavor. We had it with the red pea bisque with rum flambe, guava-stuffed chicken with caramelized mango, sweet potato, onion, and apple gratin, and rum raisin ice cream.
