- Chef's Notes: Stephan Pyles, the owner and chef of one of Dallas' hottest restaurants, Star Canyon, tells us: "Chayote, a green squash about the same shape and size as a large pear, was a staple of the Aztecs and Mayans, and it is still used extensively in Mexican and South American cooking. In Louisiana and Florida, the chayote is known as 'mirliton.' It is more widely available during winter months and has a crisp, crunchy texture and an earthy flavor which suits salsas and relishes very well."
- NOTES : This relish goes nicely with grilled chicken or possibly fish.
