I have been seeing these in the store lately - probably would not have even noticed them pre ldl. But I am opening up my palate and would like to try these if they are ok. Since they are a part of the squash family I am thinking it's a go!
Here is what I found on the net among other things:
Chayote - pronounced [chah-YOH-teh]
The chayote is another native Mexican plant and is a member of the squash family. It is also referred to as a "vegetable pear" or chcocho. In France the chayote is called a christophene. The flesh is quite crisp something like a water chestnut.
It really does look like a green pear - beautiful color!
So anyone have any tips for me? How to cook it? What does it taste like?
Thanks in advance,
Julie
