The jist of it is this: You take a really big summer squash and scoop out the insides with a spoon. Then you stuff it with yummy things like sauteed onions, the reserved squash, bulgar wheat, some almonds and goat or feta cheese. I also threw in some basil and garlic because I'm a fool for those flavors. I modified Martha's recipe for Stuffed Squash with Bulgar and Feta.
I found the easiest way to carve the squash was to trace an outline with the edge of a spoon before scooping out the insides. Reserve the squash you scoop out; you'll be mixing it with the other ingredients, sauteeing, then stuffing back into the squash boats. Then you bake until the squash is cooked through and the filling is golden brown.
*Tip: Make your grains in bulk at the beginning of the week (like quinoa, brown rice or bulgar wheat) so you can scatter them throughout your dishes all week without having to make them over and over. I had bulgar already made from the day before, which made pulling this together really easy.
MMMM...Looks DELISH!!!

this is a great vegetarian option! I've been trying to cut out meat from our dinners at night to cut back on the 'ol grocery bill. But growing up in the midwest, it's ingrained in me to eat meat for dinner, it's what you do. Nobody knows why, you just do it!
ReplyDeleteSo this would be really fun. And maybe if I tell my kids they are boats and stick a flag in it they will eat it. I know I would eat it. The tip on making up a big batch of grain at the beginning of the week is such a great idea! Love that.
I feel the same way about you Jenn. MWAH! Gosh I wish NYC wasn't so far away:(
Look at you one-upping MStew! I'm all over something new for bulgar, though. A must-try for me.
ReplyDeleteThat looks divine! You are a regular Betty Crocker!

Brussel sprouts taste good with garlic and walnuts.
