Recipe for Chayotes stuffed with vegetables

ByFoodsDiary Staff

Chayotes are vegetables of Mexican origin similar to potatoes that can be eaten both raw and cooked. They have a neutral flavor, therefore, they can be easily combined with other ingredients and we can add different flavors.

Chayote is a vegetable with a high content of water, fiber and vitamin C and low in fat, sugar and calories. It is perfect for a light dinner and can be added to stews, salads, baked goods, etc.

This time I share a very simple dish but with a lot of flavor: chayotes stuffed with vegetables cooked with green cilantro mojo and stuffed with dried tomatoes and mushrooms, a rich and low-calorie dish. You will love the combination of textures and flavors of the dish.

Ingredients to make Chayotes stuffed with vegetables:

  • 4 chayotes
  • ½ bunch of fresh coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 splash of oil
  • 3 dried tomatoes
  • 2 cultivated mushrooms or mushrooms

How to make Vegetable Stuffed Chayotes:

Peel and clean the chayotes, remove the bone and cut them in half lengthwise. Prepare the green cilantro mojo by grinding the cilantro, salt, garlic and a generous splash of olive oil in a blender. Cover the chayotes with the mojo sauce and let them rest for a bit so that they take on flavor. Finely chop the dried tomatoes and mushrooms. Fill in the gaps in both of the halves.

Cover the halves of the vegetable-stuffed chayotes with the empty halves. Cut two large pieces of plastic wrap and wrap them.

Heat a pot with plenty of water. Cook the vegetarian stuffed chayotes until soft, 20-25 minutes.

Unwrap the cooked vegetable stuffed chayotes and serve with meat, potatoes or other vegetables.
