A simple and elegant, EASY side dish made from an exotic, but inexpensive squash. Paired with chicken or fish, it rounds out a weeknight supper. 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.
