Chayote Squash With Red Peppers and Ginger
Chayote Squash With Red Peppers and Ginger brings tender-crisp squash sautéed in butter with garlic, fresh ginger, and a light kick of red pepper flakes. The touch of sugar softens any bitterness, letting the aromatics shine for a bright, gently spicy side. Serve alongside grilled meats, rice dishes, or roasted fish for a vibrant weeknight dinner accent.
