GRILLED & STUFFED SQUASH
This is a lovely meatless option for the grill. Light and fresh, it still serves up a super-satisfying flavor. Next time I'm thinking about adding chopped jalapenos too... yum!

Steps:
- 1. Slice the ends off the squash and cut them down the center lengthwise so there are two halves. Scoop out the seeds, making a well for the stuffing ingredients.
- 2. Cut up and mix together all the remaining ingredients (excluding the butter) in a bowl and salt & pepper the mixture to taste.
- 3. Place the squash on a large piece of aluminum foil and fill the center of each squash half with the mixture, then dot each one with butter. Sprinkle herbs and a bit of salt & pepper over the top of squash and cover loosely with foil (so the cheese doesn't stick to the foil).
- 4. Place the stuffed squash on the grill for around 20-30 minutes. You want the squash to be cooked well and the cheese & butter melted. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, select acorn squash that are similar in size.
- Before stuffing, partially cook the squash in the microwave or oven to soften them slightly, making them easier to stuff.
- Use a variety of fillings to create unique flavor combinations. Popular options include sausage, ground beef, rice, quinoa, vegetables, and nuts.
- Top the stuffed squash with cheese for a delicious and golden crust.
- For a crispy texture, brush the squash with melted butter or olive oil before grilling.
- Monitor the grilling time closely to prevent the squash from becoming overcooked or mushy.
- Serve the grilled stuffed squash immediately for the best flavor and texture.
