GRILLED CORN SALAD WITH CHAYOTE SQUASH



Grilled Corn Salad with Chayote Squash image

My roasted corn salad with chayote squash. Refrigerate overnight, if possible. The longer that the mixture is allowed to sit, the more flavorful it will become.

Provided by Christopher Stolworthy

Time 9h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
8 ears corn, shucked
2 chayote squash, peeled and quartered
2 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise
2 Anaheim chile peppers
1 medium red onion, minced
1 bunch fresh cilantro, minced
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
1 pinch salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Oil corn, chayote squash, zucchini, and chile peppers; place on a rack for 5 minutes to allow excess oil to drip off.
  • Transfer vegetables to the preheated grill and cook until they have a nice brown crust, 10 to 15 minutes. The corn should have some kernels that are close to burning, and the peppers will be expanding and making popping noises. Remove from the grill and allow to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove and discard the plastic-like skin from the peppers by scraping the blade of a knife along the outsides. Mince peppers, dice zucchini and chayote, and cut corn kernels off the cobs. Transfer all to a bowl and add onion, cilantro, lime zest and juice, and salt to taste. Add more olive oil if the mixture is dry or if you want the flavor to be more pronounced.

CHAYOTE AND SAUSAGE STEW



Chayote and Sausage Stew image

This recipe started as an experiment using chayote. It received unexpected raves at the table and is now in regular rotation at our house. We like this served over rice.

Provided by Wayward

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Italian sausage links
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 chayote squashes, seeded and chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
½ teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook the sausage in the skillet until browned; remove the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels.

Tips:

  • Choose tender chayote: Select chayote that are firm and have a smooth, light green skin. Avoid chayote that are bruised or have dark spots.
  • Peel and cut the chayote properly: To peel the chayote, use a sharp knife to make a lengthwise cut from the stem to the bottom. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and pulp. Cut the chayote into thin slices or cubes.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned wok or skillet will help prevent the chayote from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned wok or skillet, you can use a non-stick pan.
  • Cook the chayote over high heat: High heat will help to quickly cook the chayote and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the corn at the end of cooking: Corn cooks quickly, so it should be added to the wok or skillet towards the end of cooking.
  • Season to taste: Season the chayote and corn with salt, pepper, and other spices or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

Sautéed chayote with corn is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a complement to a main course. It is a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your taste preferences. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, sautéed chayote with corn is a great option for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering.
