Stuffed Acorn Squash

This is one of my favorite recipes given to me by a good friend, from one of my favorite recipe books, Simply in Season.  This is another good base recipe where you can change what you include in the stuffing to suit your tastes.

Makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

2-3 large acorn squash
1 lb sausage
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2-3 carrots, shredded
1/4 c water
2 c almond meal

1. Cut squash in half and remove seeds/strings. May microwave a minute or two first to make cutting easier.  Place cut side down on a lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake 350 F ~45 minutes.
2. Saute sausage until just cooked through. Add celery, onion, carrots and water. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
3. Mix in almond meal. Stuff into cooked squash and bake 375 F for 10 minutes.
