Delicata Delish
MOTTSBELA
"Delicious baked delicata squash is stuffed with and served over a fragrant mixture of quinoa, shallots, and pine nuts. This recipe is a great way to use the squash and shallots in your farm share delivery! We can't wait to try it with different seasonings and different types of squash. Two of us finished off the whole thing, but we think it ideally serves four."

like rice, quinoa has a very neutral flavor and the ingredients used in this recipe did not do it justice. It was okay, but definately not worth all of the fat or calories you will eat from the...

Terrific recipe! I altered slightly by using leeks instead of shallots and sliced almonds instead of pine nuts. I also added goat cheese on top of the finished product. Just delicious. I would m...

great recipe but no need to bake the squash - cut it, seed it and steam it - I use a rice cooker and put the sieve/strainer in on top of the quinoa -- everything done at once -- then saute the ...

This was absolutely delicious! I was a little confused by the photo though because that definitely is zucchini squash, not delicata, which have completely different flavor profiles. I made a f...
