Stuffed Delicata Squash
- 3 Delicata squash, halved and cored
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 30 ounces low salt black beans, drained
- 3-6 ounces Mexican cheese blend
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 4 ounces minced roasted garlic
- 4 ounces diced hot chili peppers
- 1 pound chorizo, browned
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- Preheat oven to 450F; line a large, shallow baking pan with parchment paper.
- Wash and halve the squash, hollow them out with a large spoonrnrub the interiors with garlic and EVOO, and place hollow side up on the parchment (this is heresy; so what?)
- Roast for 20 minutes, then turn them over, sprinkle with EVOO, and roast for another 20 minutes; remove and turn hollow side up on a new piece of parchment on the same pan.
- Meanwhile, caramelize the onions in a large skillet or wok, adding in the red pepper about 3/4 of the way through. Reserve the mixture.
- Then, brown the chorizo in the same pan; add the onion/pepper mixture and heat through.
- Add the beans, hot pepper, spices, heat and mix for another 10-15 minutes.
- Stuff the squash with the mixture (can wait now, to heat and serve later).
- Heat through at 350F for 15 minutes, top with a cheese mixture and heat to melt, another 10 minutes.
- Serve with taco sauce or comparable topping (I use a homemade, no-sugar sauce) and sour cream.
