Autumn Stuffed Acorn Squash image

I only make this recipe in autumn since the flavors are so fall-like. The hint of maple syrup and warm cranberries really sets it off. This is nice enough for company and pairs wonderfully with crusty bread and a full bodied white wine. My hubby starts asking for it as early as late August!

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 ½ teaspoons dark brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter, cut in small pieces
1 (16 ounce) package maple-flavored breakfast sausage
1 cup cooked wild rice
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Arrange squash halves, cut-side up, in a roasting pan. Run a fork through the meat of each half, creating grooves. Sprinkle with brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; dot with butter pieces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until meat is tender enough to puncture with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add wild rice, cranberries, and chicken stock; cook and stir until rice and cranberries have absorbed the chicken stock, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the sausage filling into each squash half. Return stuffed squash to oven and bake until flavors have blended, 5 to 10 minutes.

The flavors in this dish were amazing! The combination of the roasted squash, the savory stuffing, and the sweet and tangy sauce was just perfect. I especially liked the way the sage and thyme added a nice depth of flavor to the stuffing.
