SUNNY'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE-STUFFED ACORN SQUASH RECIPE ...



Sunny's Italian Sausage-Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe ... image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Total Time 1 hours 30 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 acorn squash, halved through the stem to the base and seeds removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 links (8 ounces) spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup chopped red onions
1/4 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
6 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the squash: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the squash on a baking sheet flesh-side up and rub with the olive oil. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast until the edges begin to ripple and a poke with a fork reveals tender flesh, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool until easy to handle.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh within the skin of each squash half to help it maintain its shape.
  • For the filling: In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the olive oil and sausage. While cooking, break the sausage into bits like ground meat with a wooden spoon. Once some of the fat is rendered from the sausage, add the onions, paprika, pumpkin pie spice, sage, celery, bell peppers and a pinch of salt. Cook until the sausage is done and the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the mixture to the bowl of squash along with the cheese, walnuts and cranberries and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Fill the hollowed squash halves with the mixture and place back in the oven to melt the cheese and make the tops golden brown, 15 more minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

BAKED STUFFED ACORN SQUASH RECIPE - NYT COOKING
This makes a substantial vegetarian – or vegan if you leave out the cheese – Thanksgiving main dish. It is another riff on the native American tradition of the Three Sisters – corn, beans, and squash. I used acorn squash here, and it serves as a vessel for the sweet and pungent bean, corn and tomato filling. Acorn squash comes in various sizes; the larger ones, which are sometimes all I can find, take almost an hour to soften and cook through; the finished squash can be cut in half or even into thirds if too big for one serving. With everything that comes on the Thanksgiving sideboard, that will probably be the case. I always bake the squash for about 20 minutes before cutting it in half; they soften up a little bit, which makes it much easier to cut.

  • Oil 1 or 2 baking dishes or a sheet pan that will accommodate all the squash. Season cavities and cut sides of the squash with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil or melted butter. Fill with bean mixture. Mix together bread crumbs, Gruyère and remaining olive oil and sprinkle over the filling. Brush exposed edges of squash with oil. Place in the baking dish or on baking sheet and cover tightly with foil. Bake large squash for 45 minutes, check smaller squash after 30 minutes. The flesh should be easy to penetrate with the tip of a knife. Uncover and return to oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until breadcrumbs and cheese are lightly browned. Serve hot or warm.
