DUMPLINGS



Dumplings image

My mother was one of the best cooks I ever knew. When she made stews we mostly found dumplings in them. We never ate things from packages or microwaves and you sure could taste what food was. That's the only way I cook today - I don't use any electronic gadgets to cook with except an electric stove.

  • Roast the squash: Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Stuff the squash: Once the squash is roasted, spoon your desired filling into the squash halves. You can use a variety of fillings, such as roasted vegetables, ground meat, or a combination of both.
  • Bake the stuffed squash: Place the stuffed squash halves back in the oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the filling is heated through.
  • Serve the squash: Once the squash is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can serve the squash whole or cut it into wedges.
