ACORN SQUASH RECIPE:

2 acorn squash, halved, seeds removed
2 tsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 inch fresh ginger, minced
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 cup garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup raisins (or dried currants)
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
[1/4 tsp ground ginger, if didn't use fresh]
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup broth
3/4 cup instant couscous
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
2-3 green onions (white and green parts) chopped
1/2 golden delicious apple, cored and chopped

Preheat the oven to 400.

Toast the almonds.

Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a shallow pan with inch of water. Roast until the squash is easily pierced with a fork, about 30 - 40 minutes.

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and carrots, and cook 5 minutes. Mix in the garbanzo beans and raisins. Season with cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, and continue stirring for another minute.

Add broth, simmer 5 minutes.

Stir in couscous, cover pot, and turn off heat. Allow couscous to absorb liquid for 5 minutes.

Stir in the almonds, green onions, and apple. Spoon the filling into the roasted squash, mounding generously and serve.

You can freeze leftovers (or make extras). Freeze by mashing the squash on the bottom of the container then adding the couscous mixture on top.

And that's, that.

Bon Apptit!
