Here’s a quick recipe that my father used to prepare for me.
Ingredients:
5.5 oz of dry chorizo (about 4 small links – Chiquote brand preferred; Goya is also good)
4 cloves of garlic diced
1/2 cup of red onion – about 1/4 of a large onion; diced
3 pieces of chayote – cut length-wise into 1/3 inch wedges
1/4 cup of water
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat a thick bottom pan over med-high heat. Slice the chorizo into 1/4 inch rounds and add them to the pan. No oil needed because it will come from the meat. Cook for about 5 minutes
2. Add the garlic and onion. Stir and cook for about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper
3. Add the chayote and pour in about 1/4 cup of water. Cook for about 10 minutes.
Serve hot over rice.
