Baked Acorn Squash and Review of Penzey’s Tsardust

Nothing says fall like a fresh baked acorn squash. It’s also a great time to try Penzey’s Tsardust Memories Russian style seasoning. It’s great on meat and vegetables.

Recipe:

1 acorn squash
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp Tsardust seasoning
2 tsp Stevia or sweetener of your choice
1 cup jasmine rice
2 tsp beef bullion granules
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 package Morningstar Farms meat crumbles
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chives

Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out seeds. Place 1 tablespoon butter in each half. Sprinkle the Tsardust seasoning and sweetener. Cover with foil and bake in 350 degree oven for one hour.

Cook rice according to package direction. Add bullion to the cooking water before adding the rice. While rice is cooking, add olive oil to a skillet and heat. Sauté crumbles and bell pepper until warmed through. Add crumble mixture to completed rice along with garlic and salt. Stir until combined. 

Stuff the center of each acorn squash with the rice mixture and sprinkle the tops with chives and serve. 

The Penzey’s Tsardust seasoning has the taste reminiscent of cloves. It is an excellent companion spice for the slight sweetness of the squash.
