Recipe - Acorn Squash And Wild Rice

2 Acorn squash, ~1One half pound ea
One half pound Small Brussels sprouts
2 teaspoon Olive oil
1 cup Diced onion
1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Dried marjoram
One fourth cup Minced fresh sage
One fourth cup Fresh orange juice
2 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon Freshly grated pepper
2 cup Cooked wild rice

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).

2. Cut each squash in half and remove the seeds and pulp. In a large
baking dish, place the squash, cut side down, with about 1 inch of water.
Bake until tender, about 45 minutes.

3. Pour about 2 inches of water into a large stockpot. Place a
collapsible steamer in the pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Place the
Brussels sprouts in the steamer, cover, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, or
until tender. Set aside.

4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Add the
onion and saute for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the fennel,
marjoram, sage, orange juice, lemon juice, and pepper, and simmer for 3
minutes. Stir in the cooked wild rice and the Brussels sprouts and heat
through.

5. Spoon the wild rice and Brussels sprout mixture into the squash
cavities. Serve immediately.

I often microwave the acorn squash by placing in a shallow glass pan with
about 1/2inch of water, covering with saran wrap and nuking for about 10
minutes or until tender.
