Garlic Sautéed Chayote Squash
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 chayote squash, cut into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions
1
Preheat a medium-sized skillet over high heat, filling it with olive oil. Sauté the squash, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
2
Add sugar, a touch of heat from red pepper flakes, and a few grinds of black pepper to the pan. Continue cooking and stirring the mixture for another 2 minutes, allowing it to develop a rich flavor.

Next, pour in the vinegar and stir the ingredients together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the squash is tender but still retains its crunch and firmness.
