Instructions

  1. Peel the carrots and potatoes, then dice them. Peel the chayote and cut it into pieces of similar size.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the chopped onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the prepared vegetables and the courgette, then cover with water or stock. Add the bay leaf and bring to the boil.
  4. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  5. Remove the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the chopped coriander.
  6. Serve straight away, piping hot, with a slice of bread.
