Orzo Stuffed Squash
A nice complement to grilled meats or seafood,
or a very nice vegetarian entrée.
Makes 4 servings
4 medium yellow squash (6 – 8 ounces each)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1 teaspoon basil
1 cup cooked orzo, pastene, or rice
1 tablespoon chopped flat parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (may use reduced-fat)
Cooking spray
Steam squash for 12 – 15 minutes until crisp tender. When cool enough to
handle, cut a lengthwise strip from the top of each squash and reserve; scoop
out the pulp from the lids and the shells, discarding the seeds and leaving 1/4
inch thick shells. Invert the shells on a cooling rack over a towel and let drain
for 30 minutes. Chop the squash lids and reserve.
Melt 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic, onion and pepper and cook until tender, 3 – 5 min-
utes. Stir in the reserved chopped basil, chopped squash, orzo or rice, pars-
ley, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in
the shredded cheese. Rub each squash shell with 1/4 teaspoon extra virgin oil.
Stuff the squash shells generously with the orzo/vegetable mixture. The recipe
may be done ahead to this point, covered and refrigerated.
Place the rack in position “B”; preheat the Cuisinart
