STEWED CHAYOTE WITH TOMATO AND EPAZOTE

Steps:

• Peel the chayotes and cut them into 1/4 inch julienne, including the core and seeds. Set aside.
• In a blender jar, combine the tomatoes and garlic and blend for a few seconds, until fairly smooth. Set aside.
• In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium low heat. Saute the onion with the whole chiles for about 2 minutes, without browning. Add the tomato garlic puree and continue cooking, stirring and scraping the bottom and corners of the pan for about 3 minutes, until thickened and reduced. Add the chayote, water, and salt. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat, shaking every so often to prevent the chayote from sticking. After 10 minutes, add the epazote, cover the pan again and cook for 10 to 15 minutes more, until the chayote is softened but not watery. Serve immediately.

Return the sausage to the pan along with the chayote squash and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until the squash begins to soften, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, black beans, corn, thyme, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Cook until completely heated through, about 10 minutes more.
