Stuffed Acorn Squash
Drum roll please.... Stuffed Acorn Squash is finally making its debut! I know it was a long time coming, && a long drawn out insta story - but you powered through && it’s here! But also, just wanted to note one thing, posting this to my story and walking you through it was in all realness how I cook... like measuring is too complicated, I make a mess, I eat half of what I’m cooking as I go. Nothing is perfect! && talking you through it was a little step out of my comfort zone I needed! So cheers to REALNESS & accepting nothing is perfect🥂 (accept maybe this stuffed squash....)
Ingredients:
Ingredients (I would say 2 servings if you serve the whole 1/2 squash as an entrees! I had leftover filling)
1 acorn squash
1/2 yellow onion chopped
2 tbsp ish minced garlic
1 can white kidney beans

fresh rosemary
honey goat cheese

**all bought at @traderjoes besides butter oil!
How To Make It:
preheat oven to 375, slice squash in half, scoop seeds, drizzle with olive oil, s&p - roast cut side up for 45 min
with ~20 min left start your filling: over medium heat, add 2 tbsp butter to a pan & melt. Add onion + garlic + rosemary & sauté 2-3 minutes until fragrant & onion/garlic is softened
add white wine or broth (1/2 cup or so) & simmer 3-4 min until combined & no more wine smell. Add in dried thyme + sage
