Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     lunch, weekday, salads and dressings, main course, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound winter squash, peeled and cut in chunks
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
1/2 cup fine or medium (#1 or #2) bulgur
1/2 medium onion, finely minced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground
1/4 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
Small romaine lettuce leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the bulgur in a bowl, mix with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cover with hot water. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes until the bulgur is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
  • Meanwhile, steam the squash above 1 to 2 inches of boiling water for 15 to 20 minutes until thoroughly tender. Remove from the heat, allow to drain for five to 10 minutes and then mash with a fork or a pestle.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-low heat, and add the onion. Cook gently for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and very tender. Stir often. Add the ground cumin and a pinch of salt, and stir together for about 30 seconds. Stir into the bulgur. Add the pureed squash and stir together, then transfer to a bowl.
  • Knead the mixture in the bowl with the back of a spoon or with a pestle for a few minutes. Stir in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, the parsley and the mint. Taste and adjust salt, and add freshly ground pepper. Spoon into a lightly oiled baking dish. Serve at room temperature, or heat through in a 325-degree oven until warm.

This recipe is a take off of the more traditional barley and squash dish, but it's healthier, lower in fat and wonderful. This is also a low glycemic dish. You can serve this as a side to meat, or serve as is with a side salad and some apple slices.

STUFFED SQUASH WITH BULGUR AND FETA



Stuffed Squash with Bulgur and Feta image

This vegetarian dish can be prepared up to a day ahead; fill the squash halves with the cooked bulgur mixture, and then refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large summer squash (about 8 ounces each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 cup bulgur wheat
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled, lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve each squash lengthwise; slice off a sliver of skin from each half so they sit flat. Scoop out flesh with a small spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch border; chop finely, and reserve. Place squash halves on a rimmed baking sheet, skin sides down; set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved chopped squash, onion, almonds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is dry, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add bulgur and 2 cups water; simmer over medium heat until liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes (bulgur should still be slightly crunchy). Remove from heat; stir in feta.
  • Mound bulgur mixture in reserved squash halves. Bake until squash is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Always choose fresh, firm squashes for the best flavor and texture. Look for squashes with deep, rich colors and smooth, unblemished skin.
  • If you're using a butternut squash, you can either peel and cube it or roast it whole. If you're roasting it whole, simply cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Then, rub the squash with olive oil and salt and pepper, and roast it at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until it's tender.
  • Bulgur is a type of whole wheat that is high in fiber and protein. It's a great addition to salads, soups, and pilafs. To cook bulgur, simply bring it to a boil in water or broth, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until it's tender.
  • Feta cheese is a brined cheese that is made from sheep's milk or goat's milk. It has a tangy, salty flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the squash and the nuttiness of the bulgur.
  • Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and mint, can add a pop of flavor to the pie. Feel free to use your favorites!

Conclusion:

This squash and bulgur pie is a delicious and healthy vegetarian dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover squash. The pie is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook squash, give this pie a try!
