Yield 2 Servings: Can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1 1/2- to 1 3/4-pound acorn squash, halved lengthwise, seeded
1/2 cup dried cranberries or currants
1/4 cup hot water
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
4 ounces fresh wild mushrooms (such as shiitake), stemmed, chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1 cup fresh whole wheat breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place squash cut side down in 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high 10 minutes. Pierce plastic to let steam escape. Uncover and turn squash halves cut side up. Season cavities with salt and pepper.
  • Combine dried cranberries and hot water in small bowl. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion and sage and sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add breadcrumbs and stir until crumbs brown lightly, about 3 minutes. Mix in cranberries with soaking liquid. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mound stuffing into squash halves. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Bake until heated through and crisp on top, about 10 minutes.

This recipe was just okay. The stuffing was a bit bland and the squash was undercooked.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stuffing turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked the squash.
