Help!!!
I’m making your Moroccan Stuffed Acorn Squash for 60 people next week for a fundraiser luncheon at a local public garden. I am wondering about a couple items in your recipe and instructions. When it says 1 cup of quinoa, is that before and after cooking in chicken broth? I used quantity before cooking and I had 6 cups of filling left after I stuffed 6 small halves. 2nd question. When do you put in the raisins? Is it really 1 1/2 tablespoons of cumin or 1 1/2 teaspoons of cumin. Thank you
Hi Shirley! That is exciting that you are making this for so many people. That recipe was for 1 cup uncooked quinoa, at the bottom of the recipe there is a note saying that it makes about 1 1/2 cups extra quinoa. That is enough for 2 more people (1 more squash). I used about that much cumin in the mixture, but I love cumin =) If you are not a huge cumin fan I would start with 2 teaspoons and go from there. The cumin brings a very distinctive flavor to the dish though, so I would recommend using at least 1 tablespoon. Let me know if you have any other questions. =)
Yes, our tasting group decided that we needed to increase the amount of cumin I used. We are going to soak the raisins in sherry to puff them up and add a little more flavor, pierce the squash before painting with butter/brown sugar, garnish the top with sticks of red pepper. We are serving a celery salad with walnuts & dates with a yoghurt dressing, and serving a pear pie with an eggnog sauce. We will garnish the plate with 3 pickled beets with a bit of curley parsley, and place the celery salad on a red lettuce leaf. I’m acquiring a little larger squash 1 1/4 to 1 1/2# so that should take more filling. Using Tyson pre-cooked grilled seasoned and garlic chicken breasts for the cubed chicken. Thanks for your help.
Sounds awesome! No problem, glad I could help =)
