Rice and Tomato Stuffed Squash
From tieleigh6507 16 years agoIngredients
- 1 acorn squash shopping list
- 1 cup brown or wild rice (I use half of each, usually leftover from other meals) shopping list
- 3/4 cup tomato sauce (I use Prego, but any at all will do) shopping list
- 2 ounces (a 1x1x2 chunk) feta cheese, crumbled shopping list
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, grated shopping list
How to make it
- If you are not using already made or leftover rice, begin cooking the rice. This can be a relatively slow process so you will have more than enough time to prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Using a sturdy knife, cut the acorn squash in half along the ridges. In other words, begin and end on the "stem"
- Scrape out the seeds from inside the acorn squash and throw them away.
- Fill a microwavable dish (I use a deep porcelain with a glass lid) 1/2 inch of water and place both acorn squash halves open end down inside the dish. Replace the lid and microwave for 5-6 minutes on high.
- Mix together feta and tomato sauce in a bowl. Mix in the rice when it is done cooking.
- Fill the cavities of each acorn squash with equal shares of the filling. Cover the filling with a thin layer of the grated monterey jack cheese. Place acorn squash back in microwave (with the lid) for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Allow to cool for several minutes before serving--it will still be warm or even hot.
