Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large mirlitons (also known as chayotes)
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1/2 cup diced onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 cup shrimp, cooked and chopped, or 1 pound bulk sausage, cooked and drained
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs (plain or Italian)

Steps:

  • Cut mirlitons in half lengthwise. Remove seeds in center. Boil until tender. Scoop out flesh, reserving shell for stuffing. Mash the flesh.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a 9 to 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery and saute until tender. Add mashed mirliton flesh, shrimp (or sausage), 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, seasoned salt, and cayenne pepper and stir to combine. Fill mirliton shells with this mixture. Cover with remaining bread crumbs. Bake for 30 minutes or until browned. This can be served as a main dish and it also freezes well.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. The mirlitons were tough and the stuffing was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The mirlitons were not cooked through, even after following the recipe exactly. I ended up having to put them back in the oven for an additional 30 minutes.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients, and it took me a long time to make. The final product was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

The mirlitons were a bit bland, but the stuffing was flavorful. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would probably add some more seasoning to the mirlitons next time.
