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.

Time 4h15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large acorn squash, halved and seeded
olive oil
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 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or 1/4 cup feta cheese

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!

The squash was a bit too firm for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I might try cooking the squash for a little longer next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a hit! The squash is perfectly cooked and the filling is so flavorful. I love that I can just throw it in the crock pot and forget about it until dinner.

Not a fan of this recipe. The squash was mushy and the filling was bland.

This crock pot Italian stuffed acorn squash was incredibly delicious! The squash was tender and flavorful, and the sausage-ricotta filling was savory and satisfying. I will definitely be making this again!
