Acorn Squash a la Kree
(Makes 4 servings)
This is a favorite in my house. My mom has been making it for as long
as I can remember,
so I decided it was finally time to write it down.
Ingredients:
2 acorn squash
8 teaspoons dairy-free
margarine
4 Tablespoons brown sugar (or
to taste- I've never actually measured it!)
salt and pepper
1. Cut the squash in half and
remove the seeds and stringy parts.
2. Place them cut-side-up in
a microwave-safe baking dish (You may need to cut a tiny wedge out of
the bottom so they'll sit up straight).
3. Place 2 tsp (about 2/3
Tbsp) margarine
into each squash cavity and sprinkle with approximately 1 Tbsp brown
sugar (you can use more or less to taste).
4. Salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cover the entire dish with
plastic wrap and microwave it on HIGH for 13-16 minutes or until the
squash are tender when poked with a fork.
6. Remove the plastic wrap
and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Note: You can also experiment with adding additional spices. It's great
sprinkled with cinnamon!
