Side Dish Vegetables Squash Acorn Squash Side Dish Recipes Moroccan-Style Stuffed Acorn Squash 4.5 (463) 341 Reviews 11 Photos Moroccan-style stuffed acorn squash brushed with melted butter and brown sugar, then filled with vegetables, garbanzos, raisins, and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth. 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.
