stuffed acorn squash Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound chorizo
2 large acorn squash, halved and deseeded
2 cups cooked quinoa cooked with veg stock
2 cups of your favorite grated cheese
coconut oil -- for coating the squash while roasting
salt
pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Saute your chorizo until well browned. When cool, crumble into the quinoa and then mix in the cheddar cheese. You can set this stuffing container aside or stick in the fridge until you are ready to use.
You can also roast your squash ahead of time. Coat the meaty side of the squash with coconut oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven on 400 degrees until fork tender -- probably about 35 - 40 minutes. Then, you can stick these in the fridge until you're ready to use or stuff immediately.
When ready, stuff the squash with the stuffing and roast in the oven at 375 for an additional 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
