Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ white onion
- small serrano chili
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 chayote diced into 1-inch cubes
- ¾ cup white wine
- ¼ cup pine nuts can substitute raw green pumpkin seeds
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel the chayote. Remove the seeds and chop into 1" pieces.
- Chop the onion into ¾" pieces.
- Heat up the oil gently and add the garlic, onion, and half a serrano chili (de-seeded). Let cook for a few minutes and then add the raisins, chayote, and white wine. Cover and simmer on a low light for 20 minutes.
- The chayote will be firm and crunchy, but tender when ready. While the chayote is simmering toast the pine nuts (or pumpkin seeds) until brown.
- For the last few minutes uncover the chayote so the wine cooks off. Add salt and pepper. Pour the chayote into a serving bowl and top with the nuts.
Notes
- Cooking tip:
- My friend Alicia taught me this old Mexican trick to avoid the after-effects of chili oil on your hands that can in turn sting your eyes. After handling the chili do not wash your hands. It will only spread the oil.
- Instead, rub your hands through your hair (if bald, find someone else’s hair!) the hair will absorb the oil perfectly. Then you may wash with soap and water.
