Recipe question

[Guest guest]

This recipe is from Whole Foods. It's Stuffed squash with rice and

lentils. It looks delicious. http://tinyurl.com/a2xknp

Why are the calories,carbs, etc. so high?

 

Serves 1

 

Take a shortcut and use boxed pilaf mix to make a tasty filling for

acorn squash.

Ingredients

 

1 small (1-pound) acorn or delicata squash, halved, seeds scooped out

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 box 365 Everyday Value® Organic Rice & Lentil Pilaf

2 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries

2 tablespoons chopped pecans

Method

 

Heat oven to 400°F. Brush squash halves all over with oil. Bake on a

baking sheet until very tender, about 40 minutes. (Or, microwave squash

until tender, 5 to 6 minutes, turning halves frequently and letting them

rest 5 minutes after cooking.) Meanwhile, prepare pilaf according to

package directions. When cooked, remove half (about 1 1/4 cups) and set

aside for another meal. Toss remaining pilaf with cranberries and

pecans. Spoon pilaf into squash halves.

It might be, but it may have a lot of calories. You are dividing it in half

and the package may make 4, 6, or 8 servings??
