Middle-Eastern Stuffed Acorn Squash
Not only are the flavors rich and delicious, but the different textures of the
couscous filling make this a standout at any dinner table. They make for a
beautiful presentation as well.
Makes 2 servings
1 small acorn squash (about 1¾ pounds),
halved widthwise and seeded (cutting along the ridges
of the squash ensures perfectly even halves)
tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt, divided
2 pinches freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 small shallot, finely chopped
½ cup Israeli (or pearl) couscous
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chicken broth plus 2 tablespoons, low sodium
¼ cup chopped dried apricots (about 4 to 5 apricots)
2 tablespoons toasted pistachios
1. Preheat the Toaster Oven set to Bake at 350°F with the rack in position A.
2. Line the baking tray with foil and put the squash, cut side up, on top. Brush
the inside of each squash with ½ tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle with
a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Bake until the flesh of the squash is just
fork-tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and reserve.
3. While squash is baking, make the couscous filling: Put remaining olive oil in
a sauté pan set over medium/medium-low heat. Once hot, add the shallot
with a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Sauté until softened. Add the
couscous, cumin, cinnamon and remaining salt and pepper. Sauté for about
1 minute to toast couscous. After 1 minute, add the broth. Bring to a strong
simmer and cook partially covered for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cook until liquid is almost completely absorbed by the couscous. Remove
pan from heat, add apricots and pistachios and mix to combine. Cover and
set aside until squash is baked.
4. When squash is tender, evenly divide the couscous mixture between the two
halves. Return to the oven and bake until just golden on top, about 10 to 12
minutes.
5. Serve immediately.
