Veggie Grill…Chayote Squash

I tried something new the other day. I like to do that, especially when I dine.
So there I was, honoring my Friday lunchtime tradition and having a fine dining experience at the hot buffet in Whole Foods when I spotted the sign. It read: Grilled Chayote Squash.

Hmm. I’d seen these things in the farmers market before, but knew so little about them that I never bought one. This was a great way to find out what they are all about, and boy did I found out.

They are delightful!

 

And cute in that funny looking kind of way. The end looks like a toothless mouth, right?
The point is… I liked them so much I bought some, sliced them up, sprinkled them with a little salt and pepper and cooked them in my grill pan. They were light, crispy and bright with a hint of smoked flavor from the grill.
