Roasted Acorn Squash with Sausage, Farro, Spinach, and Feta

I’ve had butternut squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, and delicata squash, but never acorn squash, until now. I knew it was going to be good but I didn’t expect it to be this amazing! I’m a huge fan now. Just browsing through my Pinterest boards, I saw my opportunity to finally try acorn squash. This recipe was adapted from The Hungry Goddess.

Ingredient

Food ration :

4 servings

Cooking time :

45 mins

small acorn squash

2-4 Tbsp.

light olive oil

2 Tbsp.

butter, divided into 4

1/2 cup

farro or wheat berries

2 cups

water

large shallot, chopped finely

garlic cloves, minced

1/2

fennel bulb, chopped

1 cup

pork sausage without casing

2 cups

spinach, chopped

2 oz

feta, crumbled

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

* Step 2

Cut acorn squash in half from bottom to top. Scoop out all of the seeds with a spoon. Brush olive oil all inside.

* Step 3

Place 1/2 tablespoon of butter in bottom of each squash. Season with salt and pepper.

* Step 4

Place squash on a baking sheet with parchment paper in the oven and roast for 30-45 minutes. The squash is fork-tender when done.

* Step 5

While the squash is roasting, cook the farro.

* Step 6

In a medium saucepan, boil 2 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Rinse and place the farro in the boiling water, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. At about 30 minutes, check for doneness. They should be chewy but not tough. If not quite done, continue cooking and checking every 5 minutes. You may need to cook them up to 25 minutes longer depending on the variety you get.
