Stuffed Greek Olive Acorn Squash
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with tinfoil or parchment paper.
Rub acorn squash halves with extra virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper. Place cut side down
on baking sheets. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until acorn squash is fork tender (timing will vary
depending on the size of the squash). Remove from oven and flip squash over.
Meanwhile, combine chickpeas, cooked farro, feta cheese, red onion and Drew’s Organics Greek
Olive Dressing and Quick Marinade in a large bowl. Spoon mixture into squash halves. Sprinkle with
pecans and place back into the oven, for 5-10 minutes, until farro mixture is just warmed through.
Sprinkle stuffed squash with parsley and serve with additional Drew’s Organics Greek Olive
Dressing and Quick Marinade for drizzling.
