Chayote Stew – The Easiest Chow Chow Recipe
4 Nov
Chayote is commonly used in south Indian cuisine (here’s a nice kootu recipe), not so much in the north. It is not a vegetable I grew up eating and, even as I saw it everywhere in vegetable markets, I wasn’t enticed enough to try it.
Not until I read this about the taste of chayote in The Awl:
…sort of like a jicama: mildly sweet, incredibly crisp and juicy, somewhere between a potato and an apple, or a crisp pear.
That article called Eat the Chayote did, in fact, make me eat the chayote.
