Stuffed Little Squash Cups
Category: Side Dishes
Suitable for a: vegan diet
Ingredients:
------------------------------------------------------
2 Acorn or Sweet Dumpling squash (I prefer the Sweet Dumpling, they're sweeter and more tender), cut in half and seeded
Aprox. 1 cup firm tofu, diced, browned in oil in a nonstick pan
2 stalks celery, chopped, sauteed lightly until tender-crisp
1 McIntosh or Macoun apple, cored and diced
1 organic orange, juiced, rind grated
1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
pinch pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg to taste
1/4 cup roasted hazelnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Instructions:
------------------------------------------------------
Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish with 1 inch of water. Bake at 350 until soft (30-45 minutes).
In a bowl, combine browned tofu with apples, celery, orange juice, orange rind, salt and spices.
When squash is tender, turn cups over and fill with tofu-fruit mixture, topping each with hazelnuts. Return to oven and bake until warmed and starting to brown - (15-20 minutes). Serve hot.

Just a really simple side dish I threw together out of desperation/lack of other ingredients.
