recipe reviews for:

Moroccan-Style Stuffed Acorn Squash

“Vegetables, garbanzos, raisins and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth taste delicious inside butter and brown sugar-brushed acorn squash. You can experiment with different vegetables, or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts - I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.”

WONDERFUL! I used cashews instead of garbanzo beans and added onion. I really love this recipe and I will be making it again and again.

I love squash, but I hate candied squash. This was the perfect recipe for a savory meal! The only changes I made were: I used vegetarian chicken stock, honey instead of brown sugar, craisins instead of raisins (that's what I had), and added a sprinkle of cinnemon and a sprinkle of turmeric. It is so satisfying! It is the centerpiece of the meal. I served it with a side salad, and we're stuffed and happy. Thank you for a great recipe! It will be a staple.

Really tasty but I made some changes based on reviews. I added ginger and cinnamon. I baked the squash at 375 for 30 minutes instead of 350. Oh and I added some red onion too.

I loved the flavor of this. I was surprised how well the brown sugar and cumin worked together. I ended up having to cook the squash about 45 minutes, but mine might have been a bit larger than those the creator used. I did make one change: I substituted chopped dates for the raisins since I'm not a huge raisin fan. It worked out really well. I'll definitely be making this one again!!!

Disappointing! I found this dish very bland, and it didn't taste remotely Moroccan. I should have been tipped off by the fact there was only one spice.

Yummmmmy! I halved the recipe since I only had one squash. I think there's a bit too much cumin for my taste, so next time, I'll use less. I added some chopped almonds for some crunch...yum!

This was amazing! I used apple instead of raisins and red bell pepper instead of celery. Actually surprised my meat-eater husband considered it fit enough to be a stand alone meal.

Really good and really different! Made with quinoa instead of couscous. Also used apple and golden raisins as some other reviewers suggested. Yum!

Loved this recipe! I did make a couple of changes to accomodate personal preference. I dislike celery and raisins. I replaced them with apple and cranberries. I also cut the cumin in 1/2, added a dash of cinnamon and a smidge of ginger. These changes turned it into the perfect autumn dish!! I think next time I might replace the garbanzo beans with grilled chicken.

I used apricots instead of raisins. I didn't mind that it made extra stuffing, because the stuffing can hold its own. Really good.

This was very good. I omitted the raisins and didn't have garbanzo beans, so I used navy beans, still tasted great and went very well with the squash. A little parmesan cheese added another layer of flavor.

This was a wonderful recipe that even my kids liked. I doubled the recipe and made two substitutions: I used golden raisins instead of regular ones, and I chopped three apples in place of the celery. It was a huge hit!

This was the first time I'd had acorn squash and I wasn't disappointed. I omitted the butter/brown sugar since we don't eat dairy and I also used chopped apple instead of celery since I didn't have any on hand. I added extra garlic and cumin and used whole wheat couscous. A good base recipe- I think next time I'll add some toasted almond slices, maybe some shredded chicken too.

I hate to be the only one to say, but this recipe was very bland. I made exactly as written just omitted the celery because I really don't like it. It definitely needs more flavor. I'm sorry but I don't think I would make this dish again.

Seriously good stuff! The seasoning isn't as complex as I like so I add about 1-2 teaspoons of ground ginger and a little bit of curry powder. It just gives the stuffing depth, in my opinion. Sometimes I microwave the squash instead of baking if I'm in a hurry. The leftover stuffing makes a good side dish for the following night's meal.

Amazing - I usually use squash for soups, but took a chance on this recipe; didn't regret it, and it will become a fall favorite from now on; used apple instead of celery - worked fine.
