Category: Rice, Vegetables

 Ingredients List

  • 2 Acorn squash, ~1-1/2 lb ea
  • 1/2 lb Small Brussels sprouts
  • 2 ts Olive oil
  • 1 c Diced onion
  • 1 ts Fennel seeds
  • 1 ts Dried marjoram
  • 1/4 c Minced fresh sage
  • 1/4 c Fresh orange juice
  • 2 ts Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/8 ts Freshly grated pepper
  • 2 c Cooked wild rice

 Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).

2. Cut each squash in half and remove the seeds and pulp. In a large
baking dish, place the squash, cut side down, with about 1 inch of water.
Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.

3. Pour about 2 inches of water into a large stockpot. Place a
collapsible steamer in the pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Place the
Brussels sprouts in the steamer, cover, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, or
until tender. Set aside.

4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Add the
onion and saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the fennel,
marjoram, sage, orange juice, lemon juice, and pepper, and simmer for 3
minutes. Stir in the cooked wild rice and the Brussels sprouts and heat
through.

5. Spoon the wild rice and Brussels sprout mixture into the squash
cavities. Serve immediately.
