Makes 4 servings. ready in: 1-2 hrs. ingredients 2 acorn squash 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup sausage meat, removed from the casing 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms 1/2 cup sliced onion 1/4 cup dried apricots, diced 1/4 pine nuts, toasted 1/4 cup maple syrup 2 tablespoons bread crumbs 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried sage salt and pepper, to taste directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and coarsely chop, if necessary. Reserve in a bowl. Add sliced onions to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until tender and golden. Remove and add to the bowl with the sausage. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet, which should be pretty dry at this point, and cook until golden brown and tender. Remove and add to the onion sausage mixture. Combine the sausage, onions and mushrooms, then add the apricots, pine nuts, maple syrup, bread crumbs, Parmesan, thyme and sage. Toss well to coat and season with salt and pepper. Halve each acorn squash, remove seeds and pulp, and season the four cavities with salt and pepper. If the squash halves do not stand steadily, then cut a small portion of the bottom off to make an even surface area. Evenly distribute stuffing to each cavity. Pour 1/2 cup water into a baking dish and add the stuffed squash. Bake at 350 degrees F degrees for 45-60 minutes or until the squash is tender and cooked.
