Time 55m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bunch chard leaves
2 garlic cloves (more if you like!)
1 medium acorn squash
1/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the acorn squash in half length wise (a big knife works best -- be careful!), and scoop out seeds.
  • Place squash cut side down in a baking dish, add a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup), cover with tin foil and place in oven. Cook 30 - 40 minutes, or until very tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, wash, de-stem and chop chard & finely chop or press garlic.

ACORN SQUASH STUFFED WITH VENISON AND CORN



Acorn Squash Stuffed With Venison and Corn image

I had never worked with Acorn Squash before, so I kind of made it on the spot, but it is delicious! This is a yummy, cheap way to use left overs and still have fall flavors. You can substitute the meat for beef or leave it out and add extra veggies for a vegetarian meal. Can be used as a side dish for a larger group accompanying a larger entree.
