Two of the vegetables that were new to me when I visited the Mexican produce vendors at the flea market last month were the chayote squash and the tomatillo. I have since been able to purchase them in the produce sections of chain supermarkets so although it was fun visiting with the vendors it is more convenient to pick them up when doing my regular grocery shopping. This week I picked up both of these veggies and googled some Mexican recipes to get some inspiration. Last night I cooked up a medley and served them with rice and tortillas. Naturally, I added some cheese because we are cheese addicts and “eso” (a Spanish equivalent for “voila”) a new family favorite was created.
