Tried this tonight and it was wonderful. All the right flavors for a fall meal. This is definitely a keeper. This will feed 2 large appetites or 4 smaller eater.
Ingredients
- 1 acorn squash - cut in half and cleaned (can use 2 smaller squash 4" diameter) shopping list
- 14 Andouille sausage coarely ground or chopped ( I used the cured ring and remove the casing but you can use the fresh, raw sausage) shopping list
- 3/4 c chopped onion shopping list
- 2 c spinach leaves, finely chopped ( should end up with a cup of chopped) shopping list
- 1.5 to 2 c fresh bread crumbs (5 slices of bread) shopping list
- 1/2 c dried cranberries shopping list
- 2 T cream or milk shopping list
- 1 egg shopping list
- 2 T olive oil shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- I use a small food processor for making the stuffing.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F
- Brush the cut edges of the squash with 1 T of the olive oil
- Salt and pepper the cut sides
- Place the squash, cut side down, on a cookie sheet and roast for 25 minutes
- While the squash is roasting saute the onions and the Andouille in the remaining olive oil (use the food processor to "grind" the sausage if it is cured) for 5 minutes or until the sausage is cooked.
- Take off the heat.
- Batch process the spinach and bread crumbs
- Add bread crumbs, spinach and dried cranberries to the onion/sausage combining well.
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Beat the egg together with the cream and add to the stuffing, stirring well.
- When the squash is done, remove from oven and turn cut side up.
- Mound the half the stuffing into each half of the squash
- Return to the oven for 20-25 minutes.(Squash should be completely tender and stuffing hot
- Cool 10 minutes before serving.
