Stuffed Carnivale Squash - Feast Your Eyes

Stuffed anything is good this time of year -- and stuffing the cooked vegetable back in its original shell makes for an especially festive treat. The blogger behind Kitchen Illiterate put it simply: "Stuffed squash is stuffed goodness."

We second that -- especially in such a vibrant, flavorful concoction. First, the squash is roasted on its own. In the meantime, you cook the stuffing on the stove, a spicy cumin-cayenne scented rice with black beans, peppers and queso fresco. Once the squash is softened, you toss in the stuffing and throw it all back into the oven for ten minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, a roasted richness permeating the entire dish.

And to prove you can never get enough of a good thing, Kitchen Illiterate has also bestowed upon us a Spaghetti Squash with Swiss and Pancetta Bechamel, a White Bean and Sausage Stuffed Delicata Squash and a Southwestern Style Stuffed Acorn Squash. So get creative this Thanksgiving -- and don't worry about washing those fussy serving bowls!

Slashfood Ate (8): Friday salmagundi

a hearty vegetable soup
A salmagundi is either an English dish that consists of chopped egg, ground meat, anchovies, onions and assorted spices or, more generally, a miscellaneous collection. So today, I bring you a salmagundi of links for the Slashfood Ate. These are links I've collected all week long, tasty bits that I've been holding on while I looked for a way to write about them.
  1. For her birthday, Laura at The Kitchen Illiterate made Tuna and White Bean Sandwiches that have captured my attention and motivated my purchase of a can of cannelinni beans last night.
  2. On Tuesday, Culinate posted a terrific interview with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, host of American Public Media's wonderful food program, The Splendid Table.
  3. Over at Serious Eats, Robyn Lee posted a hilarious and wonderful stop motion "cooking" video called Spaghetti Western. This one is a definite must watch.
  4. Geekadelphia found a cache of retro cereal box images. My favorite? Cocoa Hoots!
  5. PAgent twittered this link over to me yesterday and it has gone straight to the top of my 'must make' list. Because how can you live until you've tasted coffee jell cubes?
  6. Starting at the end of this month, the folks from Epicurious will be touring farmers markets in five US cities. They've created menus for each market and I'm particularly thrilled, cause they're coming to Philly.
  7. The Homesick Texan has the ability to stir up cravings inside of me that I didn't even know were possible. Now I can't stop thinking about carnitas.
  8. And lastly, did you hear that a bunch of new food-related words are going to be in the 2008 edition of the Merriam-Webster dictionary? The list includes edamame, pescatarian, phytonutrient and prosecco.

Tip of the Day

Butterscotch sauce is a rich and buttery treat that makes a great seasonal dessert topper in place of chocolate or whipped cream.
