Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup sliced daikon radish
¼ cup sliced leek
¼ cup diced celery
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup brown rice
1 cup chopped collard greens
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 ½ teaspoons red curry paste
¼ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Wrap each squash half with plastic wrap.
  • Place wrapped squash, cut side down, in microwave; cook on high until squash is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Leave squash wrapped while preparing filling.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir red bell pepper, radish, leek, celery, jalapeno pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes. Add vegetable stock and rice; stir to combine. Cover and simmer until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Sprinkle greens into rice mixture; cover and simmer until greens are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, curry paste, and walnuts to rice mixture; stir to combine.
  • Unwrap squash and set halves, cut sides up, into 4 soup bowls. Spoon about 2 tablespoons feta cheese into each squash half. Add a large scoop of rice mixture atop feta layer. Top rice mixture layer with any leftover feta.
