Savory Stuffed Acorn Squash October 7, 2012 | Comments Dallas Morning News Makes: 4 squash halves/ Preparation time: 25 minutes | |
1/2 cup | brown rice, uncooked,, (or 1 1/2 cups cooked) |
2 | acorn squash |
1 tablespoon | olive oil |
1/4 medium | red onion, finely chopped |
3 | garlic cloves, peeled, finely chopped |
1 small | zucchini, washed, chopped |
2 medium | tomatoes, roughly chopped |
5 | crimini mushrooms, washed, finely chopped |
2 cups | loosely packed baby spinach |
1 tablespoon | paprika |
1 tablespoon | ground cumin |
1/4 cup | nutritional yeast |
1/2 teaspoon | sea salt |
Dash | freshly ground black pepper |
Cook brown rice according to package instructions.
Cut the squash in half from end to end. Scoop out the seeds and loose membranes (discard the seeds or roast them if desired).
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
To prepare the stuffing: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté until it begins to soften. Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute until it just beings to turn a very light golden brown. Add the zucchini, tomatoes and mushrooms and cook 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the spinach, paprika, cumin, yeast, salt and pepper. Stir and let simmer for five minutes. Stir in the cooked rice and remove from the heat.
Scoop the stuffing mixture into each squash half, packing it well and mounding the mixture high. Wrap each squash half in foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake one hour or until the squash is tender and easy to pierce with a fork.
Cooks' note: To roast the leftover squash seeds, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the seeds in a bowl of cool water and use your fingers to remove the squash membrane. Rinse the seeds and pat dry well. Add seeds to a bowl with a little sea salt, a dash of olive oil and any other desired seasoning, such as cumin, cinnamon or garlic powder. Spread seeds on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until they turn a light golden brown. Remove from oven and serve or store in an airtight container for about 1 week.
