Ingredients

  • 2 links of savory Italian sausage
  • A generous tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil
  • Finely chopped onion for added flavor
  • Three cloves of minced garlic to enhance taste
  • Freshly seeded and chopped chayote squashes
  • Diced jalapeno peppers for a spicy kick
  • A can of diced tomatoes, bursting with flavor
  • Rinsed and drained black beans for a hearty touch
  • A cup of sweet frozen corn kernels
  • A hint of ground thyme for a subtle earthy note
  • A teaspoon of zesty chili powder
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to suit your taste

Step 1

In a large saucepan set over medium-high heat, start by browning the sausage until it's nicely cooked. Once done, transfer the sausage onto a plate with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Next, in the same skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil, followed by the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onions turn translucent, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Bring back the cooked sausage into the pan, together with the chayote squash and jalapeno peppers. Keep stirring and cooking until the squash starts to soften, which usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Add in the tomatoes, black beans, corn, fresh thyme, and a sprinkle of chili powder. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to your taste.

Step 3

Let all the flavors meld together as you continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until everything is thoroughly heated. This dish is now ready to be enjoyed, full of delightful textures and flavors that will surely satisfy your taste buds.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your sausage in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container to maintain its freshness and prevent any cross-contamination with other foods.
  2. 2. Store your chayote in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard to prevent it from spoiling too quickly. Make sure to keep it away from direct sunlight.
