This vegetarian stuffed acorn squash, inspired by Cookie and Kate, and modified by Jeanne Rosner, is a celebration of vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients. The tender acorn squash, roasted until golden and caramelized, serves as a sweet and flavorful base for the filling. Its soft flesh contrasts beautifully with the hearty, flavorful quinoa filling. The quinoa, cooked to fluffy perfection, provides a nutty and satisfying foundation that pairs seamlessly with the other ingredients.
Dried cranberries add pops of tangy sweetness, balancing the savory elements of garlic, fresh dill, and a squeeze of bright lemon juice, which bring a burst of freshness to every bite. The crunch of toasted pumpkin seeds lends a delightful texture and a nutty richness, complementing the creamy tang of feta cheese and the nutty umami of grated Parmesan. Together, these ingredients create a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, making this dish both comforting and elegant. Perfect for a hearty vegetarian meal, this stuffed squash is as visually stunning as it is delicious.
