Best Stuffed Squash With Preserved Lemon Gravy Recipes

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter and then sauté the celery, onion and bouillon cube until lightly browned. Deglaze the pan with the wine, and reduce until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• Add the chanterelles and apricots to the pan and warm through. Add salt and pepper. Chill the mushroom mixture thoroughly. In a large bowl, mix the bread, eggs and the cooled vegetable mixture.
• Using a sharp kitchen knife (and plenty of caution), trim the stem end off of the squash and cut the squash into 3/4 inch rings. You should be able to get 4 rings out of a large acorn squash. Discard the stem end and bottom piece. Using a spoon, scrape the seeds and membrane out of the squash and discard. Lay the squash rings out on a large parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle slices of squash with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Remove squash from the oven and press the mushroom and apricot stuffing into the center of each squash ring. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the stuffing has set and started to brown. Garnish with mushroom gravy.

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Halve the squash and scoop out the seeds. Put in a microwaveable bowl, cover and microwave on High for 20 mins until softening. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon, reserving the skin, and mix with the remaining ingredients. Spoon back into the skin and transfer to a baking tray. Cook for a further 10-15 mins until tender and the cheese has melted.

BRAISED BUTTERNUT SQUASH IN SPICED COCONUT GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook squash, a cut side down, until browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn onto other cut sides and cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and add shallots, garlic, and ginger to same skillet. Cook, stirring often, until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, salt, chile powder, cayenne, and turmeric. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; return squash to skillet and spoon some sauce over. Cover and cook until squash is fork-tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast almonds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
• Remove squash from heat, uncover, and squeeze lime juice over. (If oil starts to separate from sauce while squash sits, gently whisk to emulsify before serving.) Top with almonds and cilantro. Serve with rice if desired.

CHEF JOHN'S STUFFED SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Stir in sausage and red bell pepper. Cook, stirring to break up sausage into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bell pepper is soft and sweet, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain off any fat.
• Stir goat cheese and sausage mixture in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• Hollow out a 3/4-inch deep well in the center of each squash half. Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side up. Season with salt and black pepper; fill each with 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese and sausage mixture. Top each squash with breadcrumbs and lightly drizzle with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until filling is golden and squash is tender, about 30 minutes.
