Vegetables for dessert! If you have never tried this type of squash before, don’t be afraid. It has a very neutral flavor and the texture when cooked is similar to cooked green apples. It’s a great way to “hit the sweet spot” and enjoy the flavors of an apple pie without the high carbs. Chayote squash has a natural thickening quality similar to okra when it is cooked. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water.
Ingredients
How to Make It
- In a pot over medium heat, combine all of the ingredients and bring to a full simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes or until the water has reduced by half and the sauce has thickened. The squash should be very tender.
- Allow the mixture to cool before serving. Top with whipped heavy cream for additional fat.
