Hawaiian-Stuffed Delicata Squash
Delicata Squash are now appearing at the farmer’s markets and grocery stores. Depending upon where you live they may be called “Peanut Squash,” “Bohemian Squash” or “Sweet Potato Squash”. They offer a light and sweet flesh that plays well with almost any flavor combination.
Hawaiian is the flavor theme today as you create little dugout canoes of squash filled with rice, pineapple, coconut and toasted pecans. A delightful delicata delicacy!
Scrub squash well before cooking. You can eat the skin as well as the tender flesh.
