Nancy’s Stuffed Acorn Squash
Pre-heat oven to 350
Cut two acorn squash in half, baste with coconut oil on the inside and place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes.
Filling:
- 1 small shallot diced
- 1C leeks sliced or diced
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 2 cloves of garlic finely sliced
- 1/2 cup crickets and mealworms. Silk worms would be great also if you have them!
Add together:
- 1/3 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 cup cooked seasoned rice
- 1/2 cup prepared nutritional yeast
- 5 cherry tomatoes cut
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 piece seaweed (optional but a fun addition)
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 3 tablespoons salsa
- 1 pinch Simply Curry
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (I have used macadamia nuts also)
- 1/4 cup black olives diced or sliced
Heat and combine the mix, then add to the squash. Cover each one individually and bake for 35 minutes.
I have served this many times with salsa and without. I hope you will enjoy it!
