This is my twist on a recipe for chayote squash that's stuffed. Perfect for a night when you're looking for something different.
Ingredients
- 3 chayote squash shopping list
- 2 TB vegetable oil shopping list
- 1 onion, finely chopped shopping list
- 3/4 lb.chorizo shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 jalapeno , seeded and minced shopping list
- 3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped shopping list
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano shopping list
- 1/4 tsp cumin shopping list
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the chayote in half lengthwise and remove the seed. Cook the squash in lightly salted water to cover until tender-crisp, about 25 minutes. Drain and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a 1/4 inch shell. Set shells aside and chop flesh.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a skillet and saute the onion until it is soft. Add the chorizo, garlic and jalapenos, and cook over medium heat until the meat
- is cooked. Add the tomatoes, oregano, cumin, and reserved chayote flesh. Combine well. Pile the mixture into the reserved chayote shells. Sprinkle with
