The chayote fruit is used in both raw and cooked forms. When cooked, chayote is usually handled like summer squash, it is generally lightly cooked to retain the crisp flavor. Raw chayote may be added to salads or salsas, and it is often marinated with lemon or lime juice. It can also be eaten straight, although the bland flavour makes this a dubious endeavor. Whether raw or cooked, chayote is a good source of amino acids and vitamin C.
In this dish I used chayote like a summer squash, and made a yummy peanut coconut curry sauce with rice vermicelli- then topped it with some crunchy wasabi peas.
Kale chips are a super easy to make snack, and one of the best for you alternatives to crackers or chips. Just toss cut raw washed kale into bite size pieces, toss in olive oil and cook at 375 until crunchy. You will not be able to eat just one, no doubt.
I used half a habanero in this humus, and it still made my lips burn a half an hour later after I ate it. Standard humus recipe, pureed to perfection via the vitamix.
Habanero; did you know?
Sprouts of all sorts, so good for you! Don't be scuuurd of sproutin' shorty.
