A delicious saute dish featuring sayote/chayote sautéed with garlic, onion, and tomato. Sometimes it can feature more vegetables and some ground pork too.
Ingredients
- 3 large chayotes
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 250 grams ground pork
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 cup water
- salted butter to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chayote
- Heat oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until they're soft and release that amazing aroma.
- Toss in the sliced tomatoes and cook for 3-5 minutes until they become tender.
- Introduce the ground pork to the mix. Use a spoon to break it into smaller pieces. Cook until it's no longer pink. Then, add the fish sauce and let it cook for about another minute.
- Pour in the water, cover, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
- Add the sliced chayote to the pan, mixing everything together. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the chayote is tender but still has a delightful crispness.
- Remove the pan from heat and transfer the dish to a serving plate.
