Stuffed Acorn Squash

By Naomi Muller

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH

This is not a traditional Rosh Hashanah dish, but it is sweet and beautiful.

2 acorn squash, halved, seeds and strings removed
2 cups water
¾ cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup red apples with peel on, chopped
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. light tasting olive oil

Place squash halves cut sides down on cutting board. Trim ¼" from the rounded top of each squash so that they will stand level when filled. Arrange squash, hollow sides down, in oblong microwave safe baking dish and add the water. Cover dish with plastic wrap, leaving one corner open for vent. Microwave on high until almost cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, combine nuts, apples, cinnamon and oil. Pour water from baking dish and turn squash over. Divide nut mixture evenly among squash halves. Microwave on high, covered and vented, about 4 minutes. Serve warm.

I'm fine without the nuts. I just can't see how the photo looks like stuffed acorn squash. I can't have sugar, so thank you for the recipes. Very few seem to take us into consideration. I just sit quietly and pick at what I can. Now I can offer to bring a dish that others may like as well.

Do not microwave plastic wrap!

It contains dangerous plastics (pvc i believe) that you do not want absorbed in your food with heating (especially if more vulnerable groups like children are going to eat it) You can google 'plastics safety guide'

Walnuts

It is a long live tradition not to eat any kind of nuts on Rosh ha-Shana, because the numberical value of 'chet' ('sin' ) and 'egoz' ('nut') are equal.
