Acorn Squash Medley image

One of nature's finest creations: squash. Squash appeals to most pallets and pairs well with virtually every food category. I served this with a glass of Merlot, black seedless grapes and banana-walnut-cranberry bread--a heavenly combination. Enjoy!

2 acorn squash

1 cup spinach
8 ounces mushrooms
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 sausage links (turkey -- sweet Italian)

Steps:

  • Halve both acorn squash and remove and discard seeds. Place upside down on microwaveable dish and cook on high for 8-10 minutes until softened. Scoop out squash leaving approximately 1/4 inch on shells to retain their shapes. Set aside. Cook sausages, cool and cut into 1/2 inch size bites. Saute thinly sliced garlic, shredded carrots and chopped peppers in olive oil for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach, mushrooms and seasonings and cook 3-4 minutes more.

Cool five minutes before serving. Enjoy.
