Time 1h45m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large butternut squash, halved lengthwise, seeded
1 small sweet potato
2 parsnips, peeled
1 cup chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 lemon, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 cup water
1 cup cooked couscous
1/4 cup minced sage
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the butternut squash, cut sides down, on a cookie sheet. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes, along with sweet potato. Scoop the pulp from both the squash and sweet potato. Set aside, reserving the squash shells.
  • Combine the parsnips and broth in a small saucepan. Simmer gently over medium-low heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • Combine the sliced lemon, thyme and water in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the water is reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Combine the squash and sweet potato flesh, parsnip and broth mixture and lemon puree in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the couscous and sage. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Fill the butternut squash shell with the couscous mixture. Cover with foil and bake until warmed through, about 20 minutes.

This recipe is a waste of time. The stuffing was bland and the butternut squash was tough.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stuffing turned out mushy. I think I added too much liquid.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
