ACORN SQUASH WITH APPLE



Acorn Squash with Apple image

Peeling an acorn squash is the key to this delicious dish that's cooked in a microwave. A fast and easy delight for busy families.

Provided by Ed Haley

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Acorn Squash Side Dish Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 acorn squash
2 apples, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped walnuts
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • To easily peel the acorn squash without losing a lot of vegetable, gently drop the squash in a large pot of boiling water, and boil for 15 minutes. Pour off the boiling water and fill with cold water and let sit 5 minutes to cool. When cool enough to handle, use a knife to slice off the peel on the ridges and use a teaspoon to dig out the peel in the valleys. Slice the squash in half and remove the seeds and stem. Then slice the halves into sections and finally cut into 1 inch chunks.
  • Place the squash chunks into a large microwave-safe bowl along with the apples. Dot with pieces of butter. Sprinkle the brown sugar, walnuts, salt and cinnamon over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes in it for ventilation.
  • Cook in the microwave for 7 1/2 minutes on full power. Remove, uncover, and stir. Return to the microwave, and cook for another 7 1/2 minutes on full power, until tender. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Acorn squash is the best choice for this recipe because it has a sturdy flesh that can hold its shape when baked. Butternut squash or kabocha squash can also be used.
  • Cut the squash rings evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife and cut the squash into 1-inch thick rings.
  • Remove the seeds and pulp from the squash rings: This will make them easier to fill.
  • Parboil the squash rings: This will help them soften slightly and make them more receptive to the flavors of the filling.
  • Make the filling ahead of time: The filling can be made up to a day ahead of time. This will save you time on the day you're serving the dish.
  • Use a variety of apples in the filling: This will give the filling a complex flavor. Tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn, pair well with the sweet squash.
  • Don't overcook the squash rings: They should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the squash rings warm: They're best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Apple-filled acorn squash rings with curry butter is a delicious and festive dish that's perfect for fall gatherings. The squash rings are filled with a sweet and savory apple filling and then baked until tender. The curry butter adds a rich and flavorful touch to the dish. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
