fROM: aLLRECIPES.COM

tHIS IS BEING WEIRD AND WON'T LET ME CHANGE THE FONT. aNYWAYS, WE RECEIVED THESE CHAYOTE SQUASH IN OUR BOUNTIFUL BASKET AND OF COURSE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THEM. i GOOGLED THEM AND FOUND THIS RECIPE. I HAD 2 SQUASH SO I DOUBLED THIS RECIPE. THEY WERE GOOD BUT THE SEASONING WAS WAY WAY TOO STRONG. I WOULD USE 2 SQUASH AND NOT DOUBLE THE SEASONINGS. OR IF YOU USE 1 SQUASH HALF THE SEASONINGS.


Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 chayote squash, cut into 1/2-inch strips 1/2 teaspoon salt

ground black pepper to taste 1/2 teaspoon white sugar 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Directions:

1.	Heat olive oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, add garlic, squash, salt, pepper, sugar, and red pepper flakes. Stir together and cook 2 to 3 minutes.
2.	Add vinegar to the squash mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, until the squash is slightly wilted, but still firm and crunchy. Taste, and add more salt or sugar if needed.
