Good for Thanksgiving. Prep time is 1 hour because it takes 45 minutes for brown rice to cook. Otherwise, it's not too much prep time. Ingredients:
2 acorn squash, halved and seeded |
1 tablespoon melted butter |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups cooked brown rice (cooked in chicken broth) |
1 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans |
1/8 cup honey or 1/8 cup maple syrup |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
Directions:
1. Place squash cut-side down in shallow baking pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes.
3. Turn squash cut-side up; brush with butter.
4. Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon.
5. Combine rice, applesauce, celery, pecans, honey, onion powder and ginger.
6. Fill squash evenly with rice stuffing.
7. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 30 minutes.
