Moroccan-style stuffed acorn squash brushed with melted butter and brown sugar, then filled with vegetables, garbanzos, raisins, and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth. You can experiment with different vegetables or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts. I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 large acorn squash, halved and seeded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 1 cup garbanzo beans, drained
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
- 1 cup uncooked couscous
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Arrange squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Dissolve sugar in melted butter. Brush squash with butter mixture; keep squash warm while preparing stuffing.
Step 4
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic, celery, and carrots; cook for 5 minutes. Mix in garbanzo beans and raisins. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook and stir until vegetables are tender.
Step 5
Pour chicken broth into the skillet, then mix in couscous. Cover the skillet and turn off heat. Allow couscous to absorb liquid for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stuff squash halves with the skillet mixture and serve.
