Wheat Berry-Stuffed Winter Squash
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
- 1 cup uncooked wheat berries
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/4 cup chopped dry-roasted cashews
- 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 acorn squash (about 1 pound each)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Cooking spray
- Cilantro sprigs (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion, wheat berries, and mustard seeds; saute 3 minutes or until onion is tender. Add nuts, ginger, and jalapeno; saute 1 minute. Add water, salt, and broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours or until tender. Stir in minced cilantro and juice. Remove from heat; keep warm.
- While wheat mixture cooks, prepare squash. Cut squash lengthwise in half; discard seeds. Combine syrup and cinnamon; brush over squash. Place squash halves, cut sides down, on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350u0b0 for 40 minutes or until tender. Divide the wheat mixture evenly among squash halves. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.
