Why You'll Love This Recipe

This dish combines the mild, slightly sweet flavor of chayote with the rich, savory taste of sausage. It’s comforting and hearty, yet light enough for any season. The stew is full of warmth and makes a satisfying meal for family and friends.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Make sure to brown the sausage well for deeper flavor.
- Peel the chayote carefully to avoid its slippery skin.
- Simmer the stew slowly to let all the flavors meld together.

Directions

Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and cook the sausage until it’s nicely browned. Once done, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess fat. In the same pan, add a little olive oil along with the chopped onion and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn soft and translucent, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, add the sausage back into the pan along with the chopped chayote squash and jalapeño peppers. Keep cooking and stirring until the squash starts to soften, around 10 to 15 minutes. Then, mix in the tomatoes, black beans, corn, thyme, and chili powder. Give everything a good stir and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it cook for another 10 minutes or so, until everything is heated through and the flavors have melded together.

Perfect Pairings

Serve this stew hot with a side of crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh green salad or sautéed greens can add a nice contrast and balance to the meal.

How To Save Leftovers

Allow the stew to cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove to preserve the texture.
