Chayote, also known as mirliton, is a pale green, almost pear-shaped squash, with a dimple on the bottom. They're available in my local grocery store, and in markets serving Latino communities. Popular in the southern US and the Caribbean, chayote has a mild flavor and good texture. Read more If this vegetable is new to you, try it in scrambled eggs. See less
Ingredients
- 2 green chayote squash, quartered, pith removed, and diced (do not peel) shopping list

- 1/2 red pepper, diced shopping list
- 1/2 yellow pepper, diced shopping list
- 1 onion, diced shopping list

How to make it
- Bring 2 cups of water to the boil in a saucepan. Add the chayote, and boil uncovered for 30 minutes until the chayote is cooked through. Drain and set aside. In a large frying pan, heat sofrito, and stir in peppers and onion. Saute, stirring often, 3-4 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the chayote, and cook 1 minute. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and stir into the vegetable mixture. Stir constantly until the eggs are cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes.
