Easy Chayote and Sausage Stew Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Italian sausage links
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 chayote squashes, seeded and chopped
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 0.5 teaspoon ground thyme
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, brown the Italian sausage. Transfer the sausage to a plate lined with paper towels. Add olive oil, onion, and garlic to the saucepan; saute until the onions become translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Return the sausage to the pan, then add the chayote squash and jalapeno peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash starts to soften, approximately 10-15 minutes. Mix in the tomatoes, black beans, corn, thyme, and chili powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue to cook until heated through, around 10 more minutes.
