Maitake mushrooms make the squash stuffing extra special. They're meaty, crisp, and rich, but not overpowering.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 acorn squash
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup pearled farro
2 ¼ cups vegetable broth
1 (4 ounce) package maitake mushrooms, roughly chopped
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons Riesling wine
½ cup dried cranberries
1 sprig fresh thyme
¼ cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an extra-large baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut each squash in half, slicing through stem and blossom ends. Remove seeds. Prick skin with a paring knife. Brush 1 tablespoon oil on cut sides and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Arrange, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Meanwhile, rinse and drain farro, then transfer to a saucepan. Stir in broth and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain any excess broth.
  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook until mushrooms have softened and onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 30 seconds.
  • Add cranberries and thyme; cook, stirring, until cranberries have plumped, about 4 minutes more. Remove thyme. Stir in cooked farro, pecans, and parsley. Heat through. Season with remaining salt and pepper and balsamic vinegar. Spoon farro mixture into the squash halves. Return to oven to keep warm until serving.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover roasted acorn squash. I made a big batch of roasted acorn squash on the weekend, and then used it to make this dish during the week. It was a quick and easy meal that was also very delicious.

I love this recipe because it is so versatile. I have made it with different types of squash, such as butternut squash and kabocha squash, and it always turns out great. I also like to experiment with different herbs and spices in the farro stuffing.
