Ingredients

4 acorn squash

4-5 stalks of swissh chard, chopped

2 tabelspoons margerine or butter

1-2 tablespoons of olive oil

1/2 pound of ground pork, turkey, or chicken (if you care to add meat)

1/4 cup of chopped celery

1/4 cup of chopped carrot

1/2 cup white wine

1 1/2 cup cooked rice

1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

3-4 sprigs of fresh sage or 1 1/2 teaspoons of oregano if no sage

pinch salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut 1-inch off the top of each acorn squash and scoop out the seeds. If necessary in order for the squash to sit upright, cut off a small portion of the bottom.

Put 1 of the 4 pieces of butter in the cavity of each squash. Set squash on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.

In a large saute pan over medium heat, brown the ground meat of choice until no longer pink.

Remove the meat from the pan. Set aside.

Add the olive oil and saute the onion, celery, and carrot until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.

Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine to the onion/celery/carrot mixture. Let simmer for a moment.

Return the meat to the pan along with the cooked rice, spinach, pine nuts, oregano and salt and pepper, to taste.

Stirring constantly, heat mixture thoroughly, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from the heat.

Divide the mixture evenly among the squash, top each squash with its lid and bake for 1 hour or until the squash is tender.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Sounds delish! I grew up with meals like this. We grew our own squash, and so it was mainstay in our diet all winter long. Fantastic recipe. Thanks.
