CHAYOTE AND CARROTS

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.
