Actually I change my review after thinking about it and doing the math at a full stick it only equal to 1 tbs per chayote half or serving. Not that bad.

Oh wow! I have no idea how perfectly authentic this recipe is; only know it is some of the BEST FOOD you can cook and serve to anyone! I have made this recipe time and again for all manner of folks and have never had even one bite left over. MIRLITONS = CHAYOTE, they are one and the same; and can be found even in my northwest rural market. They will be found with the REFRIGERATED vegetables, not with the squash. They are green and pear-shaped (and sized and don't resemble an acorn squash in the slghtest. My only change was to halve the butter, but truthfully, it is better with the whole stick. It is down-home food that can be delicious company fare. You can't go wrong with this recipe! My house burned down and all of my recipes with it. This one, I had to find again; can't believe the luke-warm reviews....thanks Paula & Hank!

I'm a cajun from Louisiana and Paula did a good job on these mirlitons. They are the same as chayote squash or vegetable pear. If you can't find these. You can substitute another kind of squash or we even stuff eggplant with seafood alot in La. We also use more herbs, like basil, thyme and parsley in alot of dishes. Thanks Paula for showing the rest of the world how great Cajun food is!!

FYI....if you can't find mirlitons, and happen to have a Mexican market in your area, look for chayote squash.

Delicious! I substituted red bell pepper and garlic powder and cut the butter in half but otherwise followed recipe exactly. I had never used one of Paula Deen's recipes before and was a little intimidated but just like it indicated it was easy . These were a big hit at the NO themed potluk.

This recipe was delicious! We used acorn squash instead of mirliton as our supermarket did not carry mirlitons and it turned out very good. Like one of the other reviewers, we added a clove of garlic to the recipe to give it a little extra flavor. Also, to keep things a bit healthier, we used a half a stick of butter instead of a full stick of butter. Still tasted flavorful and great. The prep time was longer than anticipated but this dish would be a great one served at a dinner party (rather than a weeknight meal. Enjoy it, it's a good one!

I make this recipe all of the time. However, when fresh garlic, parsley and italian turkey sausage is added it gives it a better flavor.

I am also from NEW ORLEANS. I actually live about a 15 min drive from Burbon St. in the French Quater. This recipe is on point. Except for the garlic component missing, it's a great recipe.

mirlitons are available all over the place now, even at the most remote safeway store...... what confuses people is that the going name for mirlitons is the latino one, "chayote". it resembles a fat, round, harder summer squash [zucchini]......
good luck !!!
