  • 10 brussels sprouts
  • 3 1/2 oz brown rice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 356⁰ F (180⁰ C). Cut off the tops of the acorn squash and scoop out the seeds. Place the tops back on top of the squash, drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 10-15 minutes. Set these aside.
  • Cook the brown rice according to the instructions on the packet. Normally brown rice takes between 35-45 minutes to cook thoroughly. Cut the bottoms off the brussels sprouts and cut the sprouts in half. Saute in a frying pan over a medium heat until they just begin to soften and turn golden brown in places. Dice the mushrooms, add them to the pan and cook for a further 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the vegetable stock to the frying pan and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked and drained rice, the cranberries and the chopped parsley. Stir and let simmer until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Crumble in the feta cheese and stir to combine. At this stage there should be no liquid left in the bottom of the pan.
  • Spoon the mixture into the acorn squash, sprinkle with almonds and parmesan and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cook the lids of the squash on a flat baking tray on another shelf in the oven – you can put these back on top after cooking.
  • Serve immediately!
