What do vegetarians eat for Thanksgiving? Well, this, for one. Ingredients:
2 acorn squash |
1 c wild rice |
2 stalks celery |
2 medium carrots |
5 oz mushrooms |
1 medium onion |
2 cloves garlic |
1/2 c pecans |
1/2 c craisins |
1 tsp sage |
1/2 tsp thyme |
1 dash salt |
1 dash pepper |
2 oz french bread, cubed |
Directions:
1. Bring 5 cups water to a boil, add wild rice, and cover. Simmer on medium low.
2. Microwave whole squash 10 min. Cut in half, scoop out seeds, and bake face down in a baking pan at 350 degrees while you prepare the stuffing.
3. Dice celery, carrots, mushrooms, onion and garlic. Saute over med-low heat until veggies are tender. Add spices, using more to taste. Stir in chopped pecans and craisins and turn off heat. Add cubed bread (optional) and stir.
4. Wild rice can take anywhere from 45 min to an hour to cook. Check the rice, and when it is tender, the grains are mostly split, and it is not crunchy, it's done. Stir rice and veggie mixture together.
5. Fill squash with stuffing and return to oven for 10 min until heated through.
