Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- ¾ cup brown rice
- ¼ cup golden raisins
- 4 oz crumbled feta
- 2 acorn squash
- sprigs fresh thyme (for garnish)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a medium saucepan and cook the onion and thyme 3 min. Add the rice and 2 cups water. Bring to the boil, cover and cook over low heat for 40 min, or until tender, adding the raisins during the last 5 min. Remove from heat, add the cheese and season with salt (in moderation) and pepper.
- While the rice is cooking, remove seeds from squash and place cut side up on a foil lined baking sheet. Brush cut sides with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt (in moderation) and pepper. Roast until tender, about 20 min.
- Fill the squash with the rice mixture and bake 20 min. Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve.
Variations
Replace the golden raisins with dried cranberries for a pop of color.
