Moroccan-Style Stuffed Acorn Squash image

Vegetables, garbanzos, raisins and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth taste delicious inside butter and brown sugar-brushed acorn squash. You can experiment with different vegetables, or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts - I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of squash.
