Grabbed. I will make this sometime this fall/winter ... althoough I may
subout the zucchini for something else. I like stuffed squash so here's
a recipe I made up on my own ...
4 sm Sweet Dumpling Squash; about
- 8 oz each, seeded **
Jarred marinara sauce
MMMMM--------------------------STUFFING-------------------------------
1 lb Ground beef
1/2 c Chopped yellow onion
16 oz Can diced tomatoes; w/juice
6 oz Long-grain or Basmati rice *
1/2 c Water
1 ts Salt
Pepper
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
2 tb Dried parsley
1 1/2 ts Dried basil
* Or orzo pasta
** Small, mildly sweet-tasting squash resembles a mini-
pumpkin with its top pushed in. It has cream-colored skin
with green specks. Weighing only about 7 ounces, it has
sweet and tender orange flesh and is a great size for
stuffing and baking as individual servings.
Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
Cut tops from little squash; discard seeds. Chop the tops
to add to the ground beef and onions, set aside. Cook the
sweet dumpling squash, uncovered, in boiling water for 5
minutes, then invert them on a rack in the sink to drain
well.
In a skillet, cook ground beef, onion and the chopped
squash until meat is browned and vegetables are tender.
Drain off excess fat. Add undrained tomatoes, uncooked
rice, water, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, parsley,
and basil.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 mins
or until rice is tender. Stuff peppers with meat mixture.
Cover tops with jarred sauce and bake uncovered for 30
to 35 minutes or until squash is tender.
