Accidental recipes are the best and this one is no exception! This is a fancy vegetarian-lover’s way to spice up squash without losing the smooth, subtle squash flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup sliced daikon radish
- ¼ cup sliced leek
- ¼ cup diced celery
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 cup chopped collard greens
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons red curry paste
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Step 1
Wrap each squash half with plastic wrap.
Step 2
Place wrapped squash, cut side down, in microwave; cook on high until squash is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Leave squash wrapped while preparing filling.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir red bell pepper, radish, leek, celery, jalapeno pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until softened, about 10 minutes. Add vegetable stock and rice; stir to combine. Cover and simmer until broth is absorbed and rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle greens into rice mixture; cover and simmer until greens are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, curry paste, and walnuts to rice mixture; stir to combine.
Step 5
Unwrap squash and set halves, cut sides up, into 4 soup bowls. Spoon about 2 tablespoons feta cheese into each squash half. Add a large scoop of rice mixture atop feta layer. Top rice mixture layer with any leftover feta.
