Baked Acorn Squash

[cyberobb99]

Here's a great way to prepare acorn squash, which are naturally slightly sweet and nutty in flavor. First I split whole acorn squash, remove the seeds and place them face-down in a baking dish with 1/2" of water in it and bake them at 350 until tender....about 45 minutes. I usually do 3 or 4 squash at once. I cool them, scoop out the flesh with a spoon and throw away the tough skins. Then I package the cooled squash in containers and freeze them until I'm ready to prepare this dish.

Ingredients;

Cooked Acorn Squash
Brown Sugar or Turbinado
Flour
chopped pecans
butter
1 egg
salt
pepper

(Pictured here with other meal ingredients)



Mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts and 1 Tbspn of flour and set it aside.

I mixed the egg with 1 1/2 cups of squash, 1 Tbspn melted butter, salt and pepper to taste. Then I filled three 4" cocottes about 2/3 full of squash.

Divide the dry ingredients among the 3 cocottes and sprinkle over the top of the squash. Then, cut a 1Tbspn square of butter and press it down intot he squash.



Bake them in the oven for 35 minutes at 350 until done. Remove from oven and set on a plate to serve.

Nice! I always halve an acorn squash, throw in some chopped garlic and butter, wrap in foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Delicious just plain like that.
