olive oil.

Generously rub the pork with the marinade and marinate overnight of for several
hours. Reserve any remaining marinade for later.

Peel the chayote and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Brush with any remaining
marinade. Preheat a heavy roasting pan. Add several tablespoons of vegetable
oil to the pan and place the roast, with the chayote into the pan. Roast for 1

for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with the chayote and green beans.
