Chayote Acorn Squash Gratin Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Smurfetta / All my dishes 2 years ago I love Chayote squash (see the picture) steamed all by itself but, I also like this combination. Great with chicken or fish entrees. Some call the Chayote squash pear fruit but, it is indeed a squash. Prep:30m Cook:20m Servings:4	Smurfetta

In New Orleans we call this squash, "mirliton"
We use if for making dressing filled with ham and seafood you must try!
