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.”

Excellent dish! Used all veggies as recipe called for but added chopped zucchini as well. I don't really like raisins except for eating plain but they really made this dish! Next time, I'm adding MORE raisins than called for and adding crushed peanuts or cashews sprinkled on top for some crunch. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

I really liked this. I made some substitutions based on what I had in the house--an apple instead of celery and lentils in place of garbanzo beans. It still turned out great. I don't think I used as much cumin as it calls for.

This was my first time using acorn squash, and let's just say I'm in love with this vegetable because of this recipe!!! loved the spicy couscous along with the sweet squash. My husband is a picky eater, I kept avoiding the question when he asked what was for dinner...but when presented, it got an odd look, and won his vote after bite #1!

This my family's new favorite way to eat Acorn squash. We use quinoa instead of couscous and craisins instead of raisins (nobody in my family likes raisins!) The first time I made it, I stuffed the squash as noted. Great presentation!! I think I'll use this for Thanksgiving. But my husband thought it was hard to get equal parts squash and stuffing, so the second time I cut the squash up into pieces, roasted it and then brushed it with the brown sugar before mixing it with the stuffing. Excellent!!!

This dish was amazing. My fiance asked me to make it again in 2 days. I don't like celery, so I omitted it, I had forgotten to buy the beans, and instead of raisins I put in craisins. Delicious!

I never made couscous before but this was EXCELLENT! I brushed agave nectar on the squash instead of butter/ brown sugar and it turned out great. I had some frozen turkey meatballs in the freezer, so I broke those up and cooked in the pan along with the veggies. I also added a little water while cooking so everything cooked a little faster. Will DEFINITELY make again and again!

Really good. Will double the amount of carrots and celery next time. It also needs more raisins and less couscous. We used whole wheat couscous. I might try quinoa next time.

No sugar on my squash! I used water instead of the broth. This was good and filling!

This was awesome!! I had some leftover ground turkey so I mixed it in. I will be putting this in the rotation :) I didn't change anything except for adding the turkey. LOVED it!
