This stew is a great way to use up leftover chayote. I had some leftover chayote from another recipe and I used it to make this stew. It turned out great and I didn't have to waste any food.

This stew is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet flavor of the chayote and they don't even realize they're eating vegetables.

This stew is so versatile. You can use any type of sausage you like and you can add other vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery. You can also adjust the spiciness of the stew by using a different type of sausage or by adding more or less c

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of sausage in this stew. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce and the stew was very flavorful. I served it with brown rice and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I love the combination of chayote and sausage in this stew. The chayote adds a nice sweetness and the sausage adds a savory richness. The sauce is also very flavorful and I love the addition of the cilantro and lime.

I'm not usually a fan of chayote, but this stew changed my mind. The chayote was tender and flavorful and the sausage added a nice savory touch. I'll definitely be making this again.
