Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash, halved and deseeded
- Approximately 1 and 2/3 cups of water
- 1 tbsp of vegetable soup base
- Around 1 and 3/4 cups of Israeli couscous (e.g., Osem® brand)
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to your liking
- A handful of baby portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 sleek leek, sliced thinly
- Half of a finely chopped red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and don't forget to generously grease a baking sheet to prevent any sticking mishaps.
Step 2
Next, gracefully lay the squash halves, cut-side down, on the prepared baking sheet, ready to transform into a delicious dish.
Step 3
Allow the squash to roast in the comforting warmth of the oven until it becomes tender to the touch, a process that usually takes around 30 minutes.
Step 4
While the squash works its magic in the oven, let's multitask by bringing a pot of water and bouillon to a lively boil over medium-high heat. Introduce the couscous and garlic to the bubbling concoction, cover it up, and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let this flavorful blend cook and absorb the water, typically taking around 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 5
In the meantime, in a separate skillet, let some oil shimmer and dance over medium-high heat. Toss in the mushrooms, leek, and bell pepper, sautéing them until they reach a delightful tenderness, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Combine this sautéed medley with the cooked couscous, creating a harmonious mixture of flavors and textures.
Step 6
When the squash is perfectly roasted, carefully remove it from the oven and proceed to generously stuff it with the delectable couscous-veggie fusion. Enjoy the rewarding experience of savoring this wholesome and flavorful creation!
