  1. Chayote is one vegetable I’ve yet to try – loved this month’s theme to get us to try new ingredients!

  2. I wonder how things would have played out if my mom tried this game with me. I was apparently a nightmare to cook for when I was younger because of how picky I was, and my mom all but gave up on me as soon as I hit my teens. Somehow things worked out for the best anyways, though, and I managed to end up as a healthy eater on my own.

    Hope you and your daughter have a lovely weekend, Shashi!

    1. Haha – Amanda my daughter was so picky too – so I came up with all these games to try to coax her! I was one of THOSE moms! 🙂 But, you are right – things usually work out – my daughter gets me to pick up broccoli these days – saying she craves it – had I known it would be so easy, I might not have tried so hard to coax her back then!

  3. I couldn’t stand chayote when I was a kid,and haven’t touched it since. But I also disliked Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, which are now two of my favorite veggies. So this post has positively inspired me to try chayote again, and I’m geekily excited about it!

  4. Fun! I have seen chayotes in the store, but I never really knew what they were. I love the sense of adventure here. Just grab one and then figure out what to do with it when you get home! This sounds like a super simple and super tasty side dish. Thanks for the inspiration, Shashi! I hope you guys have a great weekend…and I hope you don’t get hammered too bad by this snow storm! 🙂

    1. Haha – yes – the sense of adventure was/is strong with Lil Shashi and I!
      BTW – I was shocked to hear y’all didn’t get clobbered – NYC got hit so bad – or good depending on your perspective I guess!

  5. I have played many games with my kids too–and they have picked out some winners over the years. And one of the things on our list to try is Chayote–so we must make this!!

    1. Thanks so much Kristen – I’ve seen some delightful sweet dishes using chayote too – hope y’all enjoy Chayote – no matter how y’all make it! 🙂

  6. Best of luck with your daughter! I hope she keeps making progress and will try new things! She seems well on her way and you must have fun games you play! -This recipe looks awesome and great to know a way to bring out some of that chayote flavor in things.

  7. Wow… I have to share this recipe with my mother! I only recently worked with chayote to make homemade Chow Chow Preserve for my SL Christmas cake. I like finding another way to cook it. 🙂

  8. This looks incredible! I have never tried chayote, but I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere…maybe at the Asian produce market I frequent – I will keep my eyes open for it now. I’m equally impressed by the combination of spices you used in this recipe, I want to try it on potatoes! Looks so delicious…
