Chayotes in cream is a recipe where cooked chayotes/pipianes are served with a unique creamy sauce. They are a healthy and tasty alternative to enjoy at home and awaken our taste senses.

Ingredients:

3-4 chayotes (halved)
1/2 tablespoon of salt
1/4 of cup flour
1 can (12 ounces) of evaporated milk
1 cup of chicken broth
1/2 cup of Mucho Gusto Crema Hondureña
3 green onions (sliced)
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tablespoon of salt
1/4 tablespoon of pepper

Preparation instructions

  1. In a large pot, put the chayotes and cover with water, adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring them to a boil over high heat and then reduce to medium, cooking until tender when pierced, which will take about 40 to 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, about 20 minutes after you start cooking the chayotes, whisk together the flour and 1/2 cup evaporated milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining evaporated milk and broth. Gradually add the flour mixture, cooking the sauce until it boils and thickens, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add Mucho Gusto Crema Hondureña, green onions and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drain the chayotes and cut into 1/4-inch slices, carefully removing the seeds. Place them on a serving plate and pour the sauce over them. Serve immediately.
