Recipe Introduction

I modified this to make it vegan. I added the word vegan to the sour cream. I know it's a tough job but somebody has to do it. :-) Anyway this looked very good. The website has a lot of recipes that are or can be easily made vegan. Just Slow Cooking is located at www.justslowcooking.com

List of Ingredients

1 acorn squash -- (about 1-1/2 pounds)
1/4 cup long-grain rice
1 carrot -- coarsely shredded
1 small green bell pepper -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup vegan sour cream -- for garnish
1/4 cup fresh parsley -- snipped; for garnish


Recipe

Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Combine the rice, carrots, peppers, garlic and turmeric, and spoon the mixture into the squash cavities.
Pour the water into an electric slow cooker (5 to 6 qt rectangular cooker), and add the squash halves, cavity-sides up. Pour the broth into the rice mixture in each cavity. Cook on LOW until the squash and rice are tender, 5 to 7 hours. Serve garnished with the sour cream and parsley (optional).
