Steps:
- 1. Cut chayote in half, remove seed; peel and cut into thin slices.
- 2. Melt butter and oil in skillet. Saute onions and garlic until soft. Stir in sliced chayote; sprinkle with black pepper. Saute, stirring, for 5 minutes. If desired, cut slices in half to shorten cooking time.
- 3. Add broth to cover, bring to a boil, and simmer gently, covered, until chayote is soft, 30-35 minutes. Remove lid, add red bell pepper, stir and cook a little longer until pepper and chayote are fork-tender.
- 4. Just before serving, top with chopped cilantro. Goes great as a side with chicken or beef.
