Expanding my palate I decided to try cooking with acorn squash tonight. Filling it with all sorts of delicious vegetable and flavors! I wasn't sure if it was something everyone would enjoy but it turned out to be a hit!
Turn the oven to 375 and slice 2 acorn squash in half
Scoop out the seeds
Slice of thin pieces off the bottom so they can sit flat
Drizzle with olive oil
Sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper
And sea salt
And then flip back over flesh side down, place in oven for 30 minutes
In a large pot over medium heat, drizzle in some olive oil
Add in about a pound of Italian sausage and break apart.
Once it's cooked put in a separate bowl and set aside
Chop up one large leek
Throw the leek into the same pot as you used for the sausage with a little more olive oil and cook until tender
While you wait mince two cloves of garlic
When the leek is ready throw in the garlic and cook for about a minute
Then add in about 1/2 cup of chicken broth
With about 4 cups of ripped apart kale
Pull out your squash, flip over, and set aside
When the kale is tender pour the sausage back in and let cool for about I've minutes
While you wait, chop up about 1/4 cup of walnuts
Throw into a departs bowl with a couple tablespoons or so of Panko bread crumbs and a couple tablespoons of freshly grated parmesean
Give it a mix and set aside
Turn on the broiler and Begin spooning the meat mixture into the squash
Then sprinkle on the crumb/nut mixture and place under the broiler just for a few minutes until its golden brown. Enjoy!!
