CSA Challenge

Challenge accepted! That's what my son says when I say things like "that chair isn't big enough for both of you" or "smaller bites, please" (as he crams a fistful of something into his mouth).

I received two Delicata squash in my CSA and wasn't sure what to do with them.  My husband doesn't like squash (usually I puree it Sneaky Chef-style into a "secret sauce" that goes into other dishes...but don't tell hi that), these were small enough that it wouldn't have been worth the effort.  So, I checked out my favorite recipe sources (Martha, Cooking Light, etc.) and found this recipe for Nut-stuffed Delicata Squash in Cooking Light.

The ingredient list sounded a bit weird, but the result was fantastic.  Even my squash-loathing husband liked it.

Nut-stuffed Delicata Squash.  Tried 10/06/13. I am NOT a vegetarian or anything closely resembling such, however, this veg-friendly recipe is awesome; I would definitely do this one again.  In fact, the filling is so yummy that I would make it as a topping to almost anything.  Chef's Note: give the squash about 20-25 minutes in the oven before you add the filling.  By the time my squash was fork-tender, the filling was starting to get really dark and unpleasant-looking.
