Chayote and Onions Recipe

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Description:
This delightful dish brings a burst of flavor to your table, offering a refreshing twist to your everyday vegetable medley. Swap out traditional oregano for a zesty kick of cilantro, adding a vibrant Mexican flair to your meal. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 Chayotes
2 tablespoons Butter
2 tablespoons Margarine
1 tablespoon Lite Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Oregano (or 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped)
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper

Instructions:

  1. Start by preparing the chayote. Peel and remove the seeds, then slice them lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick pieces.

  2. Next, take the onions and cut them lengthwise into halves. Then, slice each half into 1/4-inch slivers, separating them into individual pieces.

  3. In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the foam subsides.

  4. Add the sliced onions to the skillet along with the oregano (or cilantro, if using). Sauté the onions over medium-low heat until they turn golden brown, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. Once the onions are golden, add the prepared chayote slices to the skillet. Sauté them together for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. Cover the skillet and continue cooking until the chayote is tender yet still crisp, which should take approximately 8 minutes.

  7. Finally, season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a final toss to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
