Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2 acorn squash, halved through the stem to the base and seeds removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 links (8 ounces) spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup chopped red onions
1/4 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
6 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

For the squash: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the squash on a baking sheet flesh-side up and rub with the olive oil. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast until the edges begin to ripple and a poke with a fork reveals tender flesh, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool until easy to handle.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh within the skin of each squash half to help it maintain its shape.
For the filling: In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the olive oil and sausage. While cooking, break the sausage into bits like ground meat with a wooden spoon. Once some of the fat is rendered from the sausage, add the onions, paprika, pumpkin pie spice, sage, celery, bell peppers and a pinch of salt. Cook until the sausage is done and the vegetables are tender.
Add the mixture to the bowl of squash along with the cheese, walnuts and cranberries and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Fill the hollowed squash halves with the mixture and place back in the oven to melt the cheese and make the tops golden brown, 15 more minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

ITALIAN STUFFED ACORN SQUASH-CROCK POT

Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash-Crock Pot image

Delicious squash combined with nutty rice and tangy goat cheese is a healthy delight, providing a hefty dose of fiber, vitamins A and C, and a little calcium. Serve whole or cut into wedges. This is from Delicious Living magazine, which I get from my health food store. Any good winter squash can be used.

Ingredients

1 large acorn squash, halved and seeded

1 cup water
1/2 cup wild rice
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (I have used sunflower seeds too) or 1/4 cup pine nuts (I have used sunflower seeds too)

1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup vegetable broth

Steps:

Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds.
Brush squash halves with olive oil and place in slow cooker (slice off bottoms to level, if necessary).
Pour 1 cup water into the cooker, around (not into) squash.
In a small bowl, combine wild rice blend, pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, minced garlic, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and spices; stir until well-mixed.
Stuff rice mixture into each squash half.
Slowly pour about 1/2 cup vegetable broth into each squash cavity until full (don't let stuffing overflow).
Pour any remaining broth around squash.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
Just prior to serving, sprinkle with crumbled cheese.
Enjoy!
