Notes
- TIPS FOR PREPARING CHAYOTE:
- Before peeling the sayote, cut off about half an inch from the top.
- Allow the sap/resin to come out of the sayote.
- To hasten it, rub the cut parts together in a circular motion until a white, foam-like substance appears and build-up. Rinse well.
- Rub a small amount of oil in your hands just in case there is some sap left.
- Peel off the skin using a vegetable peeler or a small knife.
- Cut the chayote in quarters, lengthwise. Cut off the bottom outer edges and the seed part then cut each quarter diagonally into thin slices.
