Try this Chayote Offers a Change From the Usual Squash recipe, or contribute your own.
Suggest a better description~Whats Cookin? Sunday, September 1, 1996~ Had your fill of the ever-plentiful zucchini and yellow squashes? Then try another, perhaps lesser-known variety. The chayote (pronounced "chi-OH-tay") differs from its summer siblings because of its large central seed and a somewhat thick, deeply ridged skin. It takes longer to cook, too. A chayote looks kind of like a pattypan squash. Its usually about the size and shape of a large pear - in fact, its sometimes called a vegetable pear - and it has a pale green skin with white flesh. Other names the chayote goes by include mirliton and christophene. One cup of boiled or steamed unseasoned chayote squash contains just 38 calories, 1 gram protein, 1 gram fat, 8 grams carbohydrate, 21 milligrams calcium, 1 milligram sodium and 1 milligram dietary fiber. The squash is a great source of potassium (276 milligrams per cup) and has some vitamin C, too. Chayotes are cholesterol-free. - ----- TV FN demonstrations always 1) peel, and 2) wash well. The squash feels sticky after it is peeled. Feniger of "Too Hot Tamales" makes "rinsing the skin" a "gotta to it" issue.
