My review
Moroccan-Style Stuffed Acorn Squash
13
TRUCKERDOO
"Vegetables, garbanzos, raisins and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth taste delicious inside butter and brown sugar-brushed acorn squash. You can experiment with different vegetables, or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts - I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth."

Wow, this was great! I didn't think I would like the raisins, but they were perfect. Smells much spicier than it is. I think the spice level is just right. Five stars.

I love acorn squash but I felt the cumin overwhelmed the squash in this dish.

Great recipe! My MIL does not like celery, so I added some Granny Smith apple and a little red onion instead. I used low sodium broth and just a pinch of salt which ended up being much too lit...

This is a great and very easy recipe. One of the best that I have found for couscous. I cook the acorn or butternut squash in the microwave for about 8-9 minutes which is a real time saver. I...

This was really yummy! However, the veggies didn't get soft enough before the garlic and such started burning and sticking to the pan. So we ate them a little bit crunchy. Oh well. :o) The squas...

This was pretty good, but a bit bland. My boyfriend hates raisins, and he wasn't won over to liking them in this recipe, either, though I thought the raisins were the best part. I used vegetab...

Very tasty! I substituted quinoa for the couscous to add some nutritional value, and added a finely diced red bell pepper and small crook-necked squash since they needed to be used up. Dropped...

This is great! This is the only way we eat Acorn Squash now. It is a great last-minute meal with very little prep - good for when you have run out of meat. As other reviewers have said, it does ...

Speechless! Made it for the in-laws the first time around and it was a hit! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ran out of brown sugar, so I used honey instead...turned out great!

Very yummy. The stuffing was excellent, but the recipe made way too much to fill only two acorn squash. I would either use four squash or cut the stuffing recipe in half next time. Other than...
