Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I don’t really care for chayotes but every now and then get the urge to check in on them. Made a half recipe but otherwise as written. It was alright but didn’t do anything to change my mind about chayotes.

    Very pleasant. The squash has a pleasant nutty and artichoke taste with nice but not overwhelming flavor from the salsa. I did use queso fresco and guajillo chiles as subs due to availability.
