Ingredients
Acorn Squash
- 1 acorn squash
- 3 tablespoons butter room temperature, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste see note
- salt as needed
- ½ yellow onion medium
- ½ cup bulgur uncooked
Yogurt Sauce
- 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt
- ⅓ cup parsley minced fresh
- ⅓ cup cilantro minced fresh
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Whip the butter with the harissa paste and a pinch of salt (as needed). Quarter the acorn squash, remove the seeds, and rub the exposed squash with the harissa butter. Place in a roasting pan. Cut the onion into 1” pieces and place in the roasting pan as well. Bake the squash until tender; 40 minutes or so (depending on the size). Squash should be easily pierced when done.
- While the squash is roasting, combine the bulgur with 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt in a pot with lid. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
- To prepare the yogurt, combine the yogurt with the herbs, lemon juice, and salt. Allow to rest while the squash is roasting.
- Once the squash is done, remove the onions and chop. Stir into the bulgur. Serve the squash with a few spoonfuls of the bulgur and a healthy drizzle of the yogurt sauce. Finish with extra herbs if desired.
Notes
- Tips + Tricks: I like to use homemade harissa paste but you can usually find pre-made paste at the store or in a pinch, use a harissa spice blend. Also, know the heat. Some harissa paste is spicy and you might only need to use 1 tablespoon. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Use leftover ingredients: bulgur, yogurt, harissa
