Stuffed Kabocha Squash with Pecans, Tomatoes, Raisins, and Rice

Stuffed Kabocha Squash with Pecans, Tomatoes, Raisins, and Rice

Stuff this flavorful winter squash with a sweet-and-savory rice mix to get a company-level main dish in minutes. Stuffed kobacha squash or acorn squash is fast enough for a busy weeknight and festive enough for Thanksgiving or other fall holiday meals. Just make extra brown rice a night or two before so you can delight everyone at your table, including people who don’t like onions or garlic or those on vegan, fat-free, or gluten-free diets. Get the recipe and nutritional information below.

Instructions
  1. Cut kabocha squash in half through the stem end and scrape out seeds and goop. Put cut-side down on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a sheet of waxed paper and cook on high until the orange flesh is fork-tender, about 8 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, if you have pecan halves, set aside one for each serving and roughly chop the rest. Mix remaining ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. When squash is done, take it out and cover it and the waxed paper with a clean towel to keep it warm. Microwave filling on high until hot, about 4 minutes.
  4. Spoon filling into squash and top with a pecan half. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
  • I call for Muir Glen organic fire-roasted tomatoes because they add a hearty roasted flavor. If you are using plain tomatoes, add a little more chipotle.
  • If you are cooking for one, cook half the squash and mix up the filling on day one. Refrigerate the rest of the squash and filling to cook and reheat within four days.
