Sauteed Chayote (Ginisang Sayote)

This is one of those dishes that doesn’t look appetizing but give it a chance, taste it and you will like it. I promise.  It’s one of my favorite meat and veggie dishes. Chayote or Sayote in Filipino (tagalog) is an odd looking vegetable, shape like a distorted pear. My mom taught me how to prep this veggie for cooking. You first have to cut a little of the top off then rub that cut part against the remaining bigger part until the sap comes out. I forgot the reason why this step is necessary so I tried, out of curiosity and laziness  to just peel and slice the chayote after washing it. It tastes the same, looks the same, so no harm done there, but it saves me time in the kitchen! 🙂

Here’s the recipe for this simple dish, we normally pair this with fried fish or grilled meat.

Happy Cooking!
