Stuffed Acorn Squash

" The Compassionate Cook "

 

3 acorn squash, sliced in half, seeds removed

2 T margarine (can be omitted)

2 T water

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

2 medium apples, peeled and finely chopped

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (could use less)

1/2 cup raisins (opt. I don't use them)

1/4 - 1/2 t of each: parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme

salt and pepper to taste

1 pkg vegan cornbread stuffing

 

Preheat the oven to 400°.

 

Brush the insides of the squash with melted margarine (if you are using), and

set aside.

 

Heat the 2 T of water in a saute pan, cook the onion, celery, and apple for

about 8 minutes. Then add the maple syrup, raisins (if using), herbs, salt and

pepper. Mix well.

 

In a large bowl, mix the cornbread stuffing and the vegetable mixture. Spoon

into each squash half, cover with foil, and bake about 40 - 45 minutes or until

squash is tender. Can serve with gravy if you wish.
