FRIED CHAYOTE SQUASH
(Chayotes Fritos) A hard, green, mild squash, the chayote is another wonderful plant native to Mexico. The beauty of the chayote is that it takes on the flavor of whatever seasoning it's cooked in. Serve on the side of your favorite meat.

Steps:
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat, until the butter is melted. Add the onions and sauté until they are golden, but not browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chayote and oregano and sauté an additional 2 or 3 minutes, until the squash starts to soften. Lower the heat, cover, and let cook until the chayote is tender, an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Add the salt and pepper and toss before serving.

Steps:
- Place the chayote into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Remove the seed and seed membrane from the chayote using a spoon; discard. Scoop out as much of the remaining pulp as possible into a bowl without puncturing the shell. Pat the shell dry with a paper towel and place in a baking dish; set aside. Squeeze the excess water from the reserved pulp. Stir in the butter, egg, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese until well-blended. Fill each of the chayote shells with the pulp/cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on top, followed by the bread crumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and the cheese has melted, 35 to 45 minutes.

ROASTED CHAYOTES
Want to be daring and try something new? Give these a try. This was my first taste of Chayotes and I love them. They have a light fresh taste, a bit sweet and the texture somewhere between a squash and a pear. This includes directions to prepare them in advace.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
- Wearing protective gloves, halve chayotes lengthwise and discard seeds. Peel, then cut lengthwise into 1-inch wedges. Toss with oil and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Divide between 2 large 4-sided sheet pans.
- Roast 45 minutes. Divide garlic between pans, then continue to roast, turning occasionally, until chayotes are golden brown on edges, about 10 - 15 minutes more. Season with salt.
- Cooks' note:
- Chayotes can be roasted 5 hours ahead and kept, loosely covered with foil, at room temperature. Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven (about 15 minutes).

CHORIZO-STUFFED CHAYOTE SQUASH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chayotes and boil for 50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the chayotes and let them cool slightly. Then cut the chayotes in half, removing and discarding the pit from each one. Carefully scoop out the flesh from each chayote and transfer it to a small bowl. Transfer the empty chayote skins to a baking sheet.
- Cook the chorizo in a dry medium sauté pan over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 8 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the chayote flesh and half of the Manchego cheese, and stir to combine and melt the cheese. Season the filling to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat.
- Scoop the filling into the chayote skins, dividing it equally. Top with the remaining Manchego cheese, and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles.
