ULOG #20 - Stuffed Butternut Squash
Stuffed Butternut Squash
Stuffed squash is one of my faves! It's fairly easy to prepare, although it does take a bit of time to cook. This is what I made for dinner last night.
I started out with a medium sized butternut squash, which I cut in half lengthwise and removed the seeds.
I then wrapped each half in aluminum foil with about a tablespoon of water and baked them for 45 minutes at 375F.
Meanwhile, I put together the stuffing.
For the stuffing I used:
1 lb ground pork
1 shallot minced
1 can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup panko crumbs
1 cup sharp cheddar shredded
tumeric
sumac
salt
I browned the pork in a medium skillet
I minced the shallot and added it to the skillet.
Once the meat was browned and the shallot was transparent, I added the tomatoes.
I added the spices and let everything simmer for awhile.
When the squash was done. I removed it from the oven and let it cool down a bit.
I transferred the meat into a large mixing bowl then added the panko and cheese.
When the squash cooled down I scooped out the flesh and added it to the mixing bowl. Taking care not to tear the squash skin.
I gave it a good mix and scooped it all back into the skins.
Then I put them into the oven and baked them for 20 minutes at 350F
All photos, images and text in my posts are my original work.
Enjoy!

Wow what an awesome recipe! Looks like a great mix of delicious and nutritious. I can picture a vegetarian variation that would work for my little veggie as well.

Hey there buddy just visiting your kitchen. I wish I could just drop by and help myself with some your good food. That looks delicious but we do not have butternut squash here in our country.
You could use a different variety of squash like acorn or pumpkin, if you could get those there. You are a very creative chef. I'm sure you can find something that is delicious! Thanks for your comments!
