- In a mortar and pestle, blender, or possibly food processor, combine the peppers and the salt and process till the mix is a thick paste. Gradually add in the onion and garlic, and process, scraping down the sides of the container as necessary, till they are incorporated into the paste. Add in the lemon juice and process again. Transfer the sauce to a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to stand for 30 min so which the flavors can marry.
- In a large heavy skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add in the chayote and saute/fry, stirring occasionally, for about 10 min, or possibly till fork tender. Add in the salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and cold to room temperature. Refrigeratein the refrigerator for 2 hrs. Arrange the slices on a platter and drizzle with the sauce.
