Have you ever tried chayote squash? I believe some people are not familiar with this special edible plant which belongs to gourd family and how to cook it properly. The key is you have to mix it well with some salt to get rid of the slime. I learnt this trick from my Mom 😘 If you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary or @jenscookdineandtravel for English recipes 😊🙏🏻

Stuffed Round Zucchini Stuffed Round Zucchini
This dish came about because I fell in love with these little beauties when visiting a new Asian supermarket. I just had to buy them, they were so adorable! Although labeled Zucchini on the packaging, I had never seen this round variety before - either in any supermarket or Farmer's Market in the Central Florida area.They are ideal as an appetizer or a vegetarian main dish served with some crusty bread or naan bread. Don't be fooled by their size - they are surprisingly filling and we loved the flavor of the smoked paprika!Based on a recipe for Vegan Petits Farcis (small stuffed vegetables) from www.cilantroandcitronella.com
