Description

Stuffed Acorn Squash


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 acorn squash, halved lengthwise; seeds and membrane removed
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1/2 cup wild rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 bag of baby spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, diced
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 21/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon each ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 375º F.
  2. 2. Cook both varieties of rice together in broth or water with ¼ teaspoon of salt (omit salt if broth is already salted).
  3. 3. Meanwhile, place squash halves, cut side down, into a large shallow baking dish or cookie sheet (you may need two) on parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes.
  4. 4. In a skillet, sauté onion in olive oil until it becomes transparent. Add the celery and sauté a couple of minutes. Remove from heat. Using a large mixing bowl, blend this mixture together with the cooked rice, cranberries, nuts, apricots, spinach, and remaining seasonings.
  5. 5. Take out the squash after 30 minutes and give it time to cool. Take a melon baller and scoop out the squash and place into the the large mixing bowl and stir it up. Don’t over scrape the squash.
  6. 6. Press the rice mixture into each squash cavity, mounding rice as much as possible.
  7. (Most likely you will end up with leftover rice mixture which you can place in a separate pan to cook.)
  8. 7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes or until squash flesh is thoroughly tender.

Notes

  • You can keep the seeds and bake them for later.
