Stuffed Acorn Squash w/ Quinoa & Apples & Cranberries
Main Ingredients: Acorn Squash, Quinoa, Butter Oil, Onion, Apples, Fresh
Ingredients:
1. Bread:
The foundation of any good stuffing is bread, and for this recipe, you will need about a pound of day-old white bread. You can use any type of bread you prefer, but I find that white bread works best as it soaks up all the flavors without overpowering them. Cut the bread into small cubes and let them sit out for a day to dry out. Alternatively, you can toast them in the oven for a few minutes until they are slightly crispy.
2. Apples:
Next up, we have the star ingredient - apples. You can use any variety of apples, but I prefer using a mix of tart and sweet apples like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith. Dice the apples into small pieces, and make sure to leave the skin on, as it adds a nice texture to the stuffing.
3. Raisins:
No apple raisin stuffing is complete without raisins. They add a burst of sweetness and chewiness to the dish. Use about a cup of raisins, and if you prefer, you can soak them in hot water for a few minutes before adding them to the stuffing. This will help plump them up and make them even more flavorful.
4. Herbs and Spices:
To give this stuffing its delicious savory flavor, we will be using a mix of herbs and spices. You will need sage, thyme, rosemary, and parsley, along with some garlic, onion, and celery. Feel free to adjust the amounts of each ingredient according to your taste preferences.
5. Butter and Broth:
Last but not least, we need some butter and broth to bring all the ingredients together. You can use either chicken or vegetable broth, depending on your dietary preferences. And for added richness, I like to use unsalted butter, but you can use salted butter if that's what you have on hand.
Instructions:
Now that we have all our ingredients ready, let's get cooking!
1. Sauté the Veggies:
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add in the diced onion, garlic, and celery, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes.
2. Add the Apples and Raisins:
Next, add in the diced apples and raisins, along with the herbs and spices. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5 minutes.
3. Mix in the Bread:
Once the apples and raisins have softened, add in the bread cubes and mix everything together until the bread is well coated with the butter and vegetable mixture.
4. Pour in the Broth:
Slowly pour in the broth over the stuffing, making sure to evenly distribute it. You want the bread to be moist but not too soggy.
5. Bake:
Transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and cover it with foil. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to get a nice crispy top.
And there you have it, a delicious apple raisin stuffing that is sure to be a hit at your Thanksgiving dinner. Serve it alongside your turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy, and watch your guests go back for seconds. Happy Thanksgiving!
