Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 medium-size acorn squashes
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 cups bulgur wheat
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Cut the bottom off each squash so that it will sit straight. Slice off the top, clean the seeds from the squash and prick the inside evenly with a fork. Place the squash in a shallow baking dish and add water to come halfway up the sides of the squash.
  • Place the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat and warm. Add the bulgur wheat and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted, about 4 minutes. Add 1 cup of the water and stir. Add the ginger, cinnamon, pepper and salt and stir. Reduce heat and add remaining water by the quarter cup until the grain is soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and pine nuts.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Divide the grain mixture evenly among the squashes and cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake one hour, until the squashes are soft.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would encourage home cooks to experiment with different grains, fillings, and spices to create their own unique dish.

The cooking time for the squash seems to be a bit off. Mine was still undercooked after the recommended time.
