Add sage, thyme, garlic, and cumin; stir 1 minute. Add squash, beans, tomatoes with juice, and 1/2 cup water; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer 8 minutes.

ACORN SQUASH WITH APPLE-CORNBREAD STUFFING



Acorn Squash With Apple-Cornbread Stuffing image

Saw this on the Weber Grill site and decided to try it. Some prep work involved but very good. Pretty filling by itself but we served this with cheese ravioli on the side. This stuffed squash would also be great with pork or turkey.

Provided by Busy Lindsay

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 acorn squash, halved lengthwise and seeds discarded
2 cups cranberry juice
1 granny smith apple, halved and cored
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cups cornbread, crumbled
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon sage
sea salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Grill squash halves, cut side down, over indirect medium heat for 40 minutes, turning once about half way through. Remove from the grill and let stand at room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, cook cranberry juice until reduced to about 1/3 to 1/4 cup, this should take about 20 minutes.
  • Grill the apple, cut side down, over direct medium heat, for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once. Allow apple to cool slightly; chop and set aside. In a large pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Turn heat off and add the chopped apple, crumbled cornbread, crandberries, pecans, tyme and sage. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix to combine ingredients.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the reduced cranberry juice in the cavity of each squash half and then spoon in about 1/2 cup of the stuffing. Grill stuffed squash over medium heat until the squash is tender and the stuffing is golden, about 5 - 8 minutes.

SOUTHERN CORNBREAD DRESSING IN ACORN SQUASH



Southern Cornbread Dressing in Acorn Squash image

Traditionally, southern dressing or stuffing is baked alongside a hen or turkey. This is pretty much the same dressing recipe but it's baked inside acorn squash. The squash keeps the dressing from drying out and provides another side dish.

Provided by SusieQusie

Categories     Onions

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup celery, chopped
2 cups chicken broth (may need more or less)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste (I like mine peppery)
6 slices stale bread, cubed
4 cups cornbread, crumbled
2 whole eggs, beaten
4 small acorn squash (small size, about 4 pounds total)
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter on medium heat and cook onion and celery for 3 to 4 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Add chicken broth, sage, thyme and pepper to taste and cook over medium heat for 1 minute.
  • In a large bowl, combine bread cubes and cornbread. Pour broth/vegetable mixture over all and stir to combine. If the mixture is dry or crumbly looking, add broth until it will hold together.
  • Stir in the eggs. (Stirring in the eggs last prevents the hot broth from scrambling them.).
  • Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut a small slice off the sides, so the squash will lay flat in the baking dish.
  • Generously brush insides of squash with melted butter.
  • Spoon a heaping 1/2 cup of the stuffing mixture in each squash half and place in a large shallow baking dish. Drizzle on any remaining melted butter.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour or until squash is tender and dressing is warmed through. If desired, remove foil during the last 10 minutes to brown up the top.
