Chayote guisado al vino blanco

Ingredientes

• 2 tbsp. olive Oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 white onion
• small serrano chili
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 chayote (diced into 1-inch cubes)
• 3/4 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup pine nuts (can substitute raw green pumpkin seeds)
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparación

1. 1

   Peel the chayote. Remove the seeds and chop into 1" pieces.

2. 2

   Chop the onion into 3/4" pieces.

3. 3

   Heat up the oil gently and add the garlic, onion, and half a serrano chili (de-seeded). Let cook for a few minutes and then add the raisins, chayote, and white wine. Cover and simmer on a low light for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   The chayote will be firm and crunchy, but tender when ready. While the chayote is simmering toast the pine nuts (or pumpkin seeds) until brown.

5. 5

   For the last few minutes uncover the chayote so the wine cooks off. Add salt and pepper. Pour the chayote into a serving bowl and top with the nuts.
