Pati – saw this recipe on Sunday and then ran across the chayote squash at our local produce vendor. I’d seen it before but had no idea what it was until I saw your show! Can’t wait to try this out! Thanks!

Thank you, Pati. I love your show. This recipe was fabu! Do you boil or bake the stuffed chayote? Or do you boil then bake? My mom LOVES chayote (although she cooks it to death). I am making this salad and serving it to her as a special Mother’s Day treat this Sunday 5/12. I know chayote for Mother’s Day sounds weird, but she will LOVE it!

I love chayote relleno, many things can go in, including un guisadito de jitomate y covered with cheese. Will try to include a recipe soon. Trick with chayotes is, unless they are stuffed, cook them al dente.

OMG, Pati! Más recetas de chayote, porfa, porfa, porfa!

I ate chayote growing up in Puerto Rico, but it was watery and bland, and had probably been boiled to death. Then I saw you make this on your show and was super skeptical. But I figured I could blame you if I hated it! WE ALL LOVED IT! Yes, the kids too.

I can’t wait to see a recipe for chayote relleno. Qué le pones adentro?

Dear Pati:

Am waiting for the chayote to cook as I type. Never used it before and only recently saw some at a Latino supermarket so I decided to give it whirl.

Really enjoy your show and have tried a few other things such as the flan with almonds, the finger french toast your sister made and your salsa verde. Looking forward to trying the chunky adobe mashed potatoes next.

Love your show – keep up the great work. From Cleveland Ohio

Es bien dificil aqui en Estados Unidos no solamente encontrar chayotes, sino encontrar recetas de como prepararlos, ya sabes, aparte de comerlos cocinados al vapor, me encanto esta receta y voy a probarla.
Gracias!
