Chayote And Carrots Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss together the chayote, cabbage, carrots, jicama, scallions, cumin, coriander and 2 teaspoons salt. Let the flavors combine while you make the dressing for the slaw.
• To a food processor, add the crema, orange juice, cilantro, lime juice, agave, hot sauce, garlic, avocado and jalapeno. Process until completely smooth; season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve; the dressing can be made 1 day in advance.
• When ready to serve, toss the dressing with the vegetables. Garnish with the reserved scallions and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chayote, 1 tablespoon parsley, and garlic. Sauté until chayote is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in green onions. Transfer to bowl; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the chayote in half lengthwise and cook in a large pot of boiling water until tender, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in another medium pot of boiling water, cook the carrots until tender, about 10 minutes. When the vegetables are tender drain and cool under running water. 2. Peel the chayote and slice thinly crosswise. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring, until limp and tender, about 4 minutes. Add the sliced chayote, carrots, and salt. Stir gently to coat with the butter and heat through completely, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
