Stuffed squash

  • 2 squash, cut in half and cooked
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • ½ tbsp butter
  • ¾ cup minced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 medium apple, diced
  • 1 ½ orange, sectioned
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp allspice or cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ chopped almonds

Melt butter in a medium skillet. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic, apples, oranges and spices, and sauté over medium heat about 5 minutes more. The orange sections may fall apart, but that’s okay. Add the sauté to the rice and mix well. Season to taste with salt and honey. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill the prebaked squash halves and top with chopped nuts. Bake uncovered until heated through- about 20 to 30 minutes.
