Vegetarian Acorn Squash Stuffed with Wild Rice image

I used acorn squash for this vegetarian stuffed dish but you can use butternut or any other. For me this took a little time to make but it was well worth it.

Time 1h25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (1 pound) acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 teaspoons butter
½ cup dry bread crumbs
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup chopped celery
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup cooked wild rice
¼ cup vegetable broth
¼ cup low-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt-free seasoning blend

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking dish.
  • Place squash, cut sides-down, in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • While squash is cooking, melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add bread crumbs and thyme; cook, stirring frequently, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the same pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, celery, and bell pepper and cook and stir until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in cooked rice and vegetable broth; cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and Parmesan cheese.
  • Remove squash from the oven, leaving the oven on. Flip over squash and sprinkle with seasoning. Spoon the filling into the squash, mounding to use all of it. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved bread crumb mixture.
  • Return to the preheated oven and continue to bake until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover wild rice. I also added some chopped walnuts to the stuffing for extra crunch.
