Delighting in Autumn’s Bounty: A Vegan Recipe for Stuffed Acorn Squash
To create this mouthwatering dish, start by preheating your oven to 400°F.
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the centre of each acorn squash half, then proceed with your desired recipe or cooking method. Delicately drizzle with a rich olive oil and subtly enhance the flavor with a pinch of flaky salt. Position the squash, cut side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until it yields to gentle fork probing.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Warm the olive oil in a medium-sized pan placed over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and cook them until they reach a tender, translucent state. Next, add the sliced mushrooms. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of flair, then sear to a golden brown perfection. With the aromas of minced garlic, tamari, and spices mingling in harmony, continue cooking for an additional minute to allow the flavors to fully infuse. Combining the cooked wild rice with the wilted spinach, crunchy chopped nuts, and sweet dried cranberries creates a delightful blend of textures and flavors. Stir to wilt the spinach. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Retrieve the roasted acorn squashes from the oven and carefully scoop out a portion of the flesh to make room for the savory wild rice filling.
