Recipe: Stuffed Acorn Squash with Farro and SausageDescription: A savory dish of roasted acorn squash filled with a hearty mixture of farro, sausage, and vegetables.Serves: 6 people Total Time: 66Difficulty: Easy to follow Ingredients needed: 3 small acorn squash, 3 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 cup farro, 2.25 cup apple cider, 1 cup water, 2 sprig thyme, 0.5 pound sweet italian sausage, 0.5 piece onion, 2 piece celery, 2 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, 1 bunch lacinato kaleInstructions: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut each end off the acorn squash and halve them. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and brush all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast until tender, about 30-35 minutes. While the squash is roasting, make the farro: In a medium saucepan, combine farro with 2 cups of apple cider, 1 cup of water, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is evaporated and the farro is tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove thyme sprigs. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon onto a paper-towel-lined plate. Drain most of the fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the onion and celery and cook until soft, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and chopped thyme, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the kale and cook, stirring frequently. After 4 minutes, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of apple cider, then cook for another 4 minutes, or until the kale is tender. Combine the cooked farro and sausage with the vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Divide the mixture among the 6 squash halves. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the tops are golden and the filling is warmed, about 2 to 3 minutes.Perfect for: Meal planning, weekly preparation, home cooking Tags: main dish, fall, comfort foodThis Stuffed Acorn Squash with Farro and Sausage recipe is designed for easy meal planning and preparation.
