Artichoke Cheese Stuffed Squash
two large acorn squash
3 tablespoons olive oil
10 oz mushrooms, cleaned and finely chopped
8 oz canned, quartered artichoke hearts (NOT marinated)
1 rib celery, finely diced
4 scallions, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon each dried basil, oregano and thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste
4 oz cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
2 oz Italian fontina, shredded (about 1/2 cup)
1 oz Parmesan cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup)
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
Preparation Time: about one hour to prepare, plus 20-30 minutes to bake
Preheat oven to 375 .
Cut squashes in half horizontally and place each half cut-side down in baking pans at least two-inches deep which have been oiled lightly on the bottom. Add about one-half inch of boiling water to pan. Bake at 375
until very soft but not altogether mushy when tested with a sharp knife, about 45 minutes to one hour depending on size of squash.
Prepare filling while squashes bake. Drain artichokes, rinse, and chop coarsely. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, artichoke hearts and celery and saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add scallions, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, sage and soy sauce and continue to cook another 3 minutes.
Add pepper and stir. Remove skillet from heat and stir in cheeses until melted and combined. Stir in breadcrumbs, adding up to 4 tablespoons water until well moistened and combined.
Remove squash from oven. Remove from pan and place cut-side up on cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut a thin slice from the bottom of each squash half (if necessary) to allow them to sit flat. Scoop out seeds with a spoon and discard.
Fill squash cavities with stuffing mixture, distributing evenly among four squash halves. Place squash halves, stuffing-side up, in an oiled baking pan big enough to hold them. If not baking immediately, refrigerate until about 30 minutes before serving.
Bake in 375 F oven for 20-30 minutes, or until hot. If taking from refrigerator, this will take 30-40 minutes. Cut each piece into quarters to serve
