STEWED CHAYOTE
A pleasant, somewhat summery side dish from M.S. Milliken & S. Feniger. Especially good with flaky white fish or grilled chicken. I think that the salad and veggie seasoning adds a nice flavor, but omit it if you are avoiding MSG. The chayote is just fine without it.

Steps:
- Quarter the chayote.
- Remove and discard the center seed of each.
- Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the chayote, and boil for 5 minutes.
- Drain.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat.
- Cook the onions until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes longer.
- Add the chayote, tomatoes, and water.
- Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
- NOTE: If you can't locate chayotes (usually found in the tropical or exotic produce section), try using zucchini or cucumbers (yes, cucumbers can be cooked like zucchini).
- These are the closest matches to chayote, taste- and texture-wise.
