Salt to taste

Season and simmer: Sprinkle in the turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Add the water or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chayote is tender.
Serve: Once the chayote is cooked through, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
