Acadia's Ratatouille

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:45:57 -0400

We love ratatouille! I usually have an abundance of zucchini and yellow squash in my garden, however, this year since we received so much rain the zucchini & squash crop was poor. So I have been force to buy my ingredients. For my family's taste, I omit the red pepper flakes and salt as the canned tomatoes have enough salt in them, however if you choose to use fresh tomatoes I would add the salt. -- posted by Acadia

Steamed Kabocha for Low-Sugar Diets

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 20:05:24 -0400

Guam's selection of locally-grown vegetables is limited and many of them are unfamiliar to stateside Americans. One example is the kabocha, also known as Japanese pumpkin or kabocha squash. The Filipinos use it in stews and the Japanese use it in tempura but I experimented to make it a healthy side dish (kabocha is full of beta carotene and also has iron and potassium...good stuff). -- posted by Cooking_on_Guam

Stuffed Zucchini - Betty Crocker

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:16:58 -0400

I know, I know.....5 million stuffed zucchini recipes, and I had to post another. Well this one is different then the others. Actually, this is the very first 'stuffed' recipe I ever tried. I'd just gone back to work after having the kids, and came across Betty Crocker's 'Working Woman's Cookbook'. What a gem this book is. Anyway, getting back to the zucchini....this is very tasty, and easy to put together. The best part, is you can prepare it up to 24 hours ahead of time. Just what working people need. -- posted by Diana #2

This is a nice change from the typical burger or parmesan topped spaghetti sauce. Easy, tasty and the kids like it! I also like that it is a one dish meal. You can use any small pasta in place of the wheat. I use home canned tomato puree but you can replace that with two 28 ounce cans of tomato sauce and 2 cups of water. Serve on top or on the side with frozen corn that is steamed. -- posted by RussianMama

Quinoa-Stuffed Acorn Squash

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:00:23 -0400

From the October 2009 issue of More magazine. I used sugar-free pancake syrup in place of the honey, and dried parsley flakes... I didn't have any mint, so I skipped that, and I left out the almonds due to personal preference. I also very stupidly didn't see the "salt and pepper to taste" part, but anyway, the cumin flavor is very pronounced. I also thought that the amount of filling was a bit too much for such small squashes, but it's good eaten plain too. -- posted by brokenburner

Acorn Squash With Citrus and Chile

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:04:43 -0500

I really enjoy acorn squash and can't wait until the fall crop is ready each year. Zaar has a ton of recipes with acorn squash stuffed with just about everything, but after an extensive search I couldn't find one similar to this one. I was surfing the 'net and found this recipe at the Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/acorn-squash-with-citrus-and-chile.html Care2 says this about recipe: Something magic happens when you roast an autumn squashit transforms from a hard, grainy, starchy thing to a mellow, creamy, sweet miracle. Matching autumn squash with flavors like cinnamon and brown sugar is a natural; but we found a recipe that adds tart and spicy to the sweet taste of acorn squash, that is fresh and surprising but still warm and comforting. Why not switch things up a bit with this roasted acorn squash with chili and citrus! -- posted by SassiFras

Acorn squash is a satisfying side when roasted and topped with a pat of butter and a drizzle of maple syrup, but filled with a hearty stuffing of wild rice, pecans, and cranberries, its a meal in itself.

I just got back from a quick trip to Miami, Fla. and had something very similar to this at a restaurant called Captain's Tavern. It was so good, I had to try to find the recipe. Here's one gleaned from Gourmet magazine, Nov. 2006 via Epicurious. Enjoy! This is one big casserole, but at the restaurant it was in individual dishes. You may add the cheese between each layer or just use it to top, or leave it out if you prefer! On the website, this has 92 wonderful reviews! this is even better the next day. You can half this recipe and cook in a 9x9" pan. This is so good, serve to company and for the holidays. This recipe calls for slicing raw squash but to make it easier to cut, microwave for 3-5 minutes, or lightly steam or bake and then cut in pieces. The recipe says it will serve 8-10 people but some said it served 12! -- posted by Sharon123

Summer Vegetable Gratin

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:46:36 -0500

While this recipe calls for summer vegetables, my brother and SIL prepared it for Christmas dinner 2009 and I loved it. Good as a vegetarian main dish or a side. It's not quite the same as other vegetable gratins already on RecipeZaar. Personally, I would make this with less olive oil, the amount of which I specified in the ingredients, but you can use the original amount if you prefer (just convert teaspoons to tablespoons). This can also be made ahead after assembly and before baking. Just pre-heat the oven. Try to buy the zucchini and squash of roughly the same diameter. I might serve this with bread to soak up the juices. To make this vegan, omit the parmesan cheese. They found this recipe on America's TV test kitchen. -- posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend

Easy nice comfort food. Acorn squash stuffed with wild rice, cherries, pecans and a creamy cheesy topping. I prefer a blend of wild and white for this, but you can really use any rice if you don't like wild rice. And hey, this is the time to take advantage of the boxed rice. Uncle Bens is what I use, but there are many brands available, and I just use the quick cooking kind, but any will work. My favorite is to serve this with roast chicken, but if you want something lighter ... serve with a fresh green salad topped with roasted pears. -- posted by SarasotaCook

From the February 2010 "Fab Five" list of Vegetarian Times. (Duxelles is a paste of finely chopped mushrooms and shallots.) This is a wonderful comfort food that is actually fairly low calorie (depending on how much cheese you use). -- posted by Wish I Could Cook

I thought this was a nice change from the usual butter/brown sugar/maple syrup thing. From an old Rodale cookbook; not tried, posted for safekeeping. Prep time includes a little extra time for the baked squash to cool a bit before completing the recipe. -- posted by coconutty

Extreme Vegetable Goodness

Beyond good. Prepping the vegetables takes a while but then it's virtually hands-free with spectacular results. You'll be glad you made this. This will serve 8 as a side-dish, 4 or 5 as a main course. -- posted by evelyn/athens
