Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash-Crock Pot image

Delicious squash combined with nutty rice and tangy goat cheese is a healthy delight, providing a hefty dose of fiber, vitamins A and C, and a little calcium. Serve whole or cut into wedges. This is from Delicious Living magazine, which I get from my health food store. Any good winter squash can be used.

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large acorn squash, halved and seeded
olive oil
1 cup water
1/2 cup wild rice
1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds (I have used sunflower seeds too) or 1/4 cup pine nuts (I have used sunflower seeds too)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or 1/4 cup feta cheese

Steps:

  • Cut squash in half and scoop out seeds.
  • Brush squash halves with olive oil and place in slow cooker (slice off bottoms to level, if necessary).
  • Pour 1 cup water into the cooker, around (not into) squash.
  • In a small bowl, combine wild rice blend, pumpkin seeds or pine nuts, minced garlic, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and spices; stir until well-mixed.
  • Stuff rice mixture into each squash half.
  • Slowly pour about 1/2 cup vegetable broth into each squash cavity until full (don't let stuffing overflow).
  • Pour any remaining broth around squash.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Just prior to serving, sprinkle with crumbled cheese.
  • Enjoy!
