CHRISTOPHENE QUICK BREAD



Christophene Quick Bread image

You may know christophene as it is more commonly known: chayote in Mexico, choko in Australia and mirliton in Cajun Country. Another wonderful recipe from the book 'An Embarrassment of Mangoes'. Note: I always have better luck with the outcome of quick breads if they are baked as smaller loaves. You'll be able to get two small loaves with this recipe. Also, if you cannot find chayote, substitute yellow squash aka 'crook neck', summer squash or even zucchini/courgette.
