Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash (halved and seeded)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup Spanish cooked chorizo (minced or 1 link)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 cup cooked farro
- 15 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne (optional)
- 1 cup green peas (frozen)
- 1 cup shredded manchego cheese (or Pecorino Romano)
- minced scallions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and place all four acorn squash halves on a 9 x 13 baking pan or glass baking dish.
- Rub the insides of the squash with olive oil and half of the salt and pepper (1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.) Flip squash cut side down then roast in the oven until fork tender, 20-25 minutes.
- While squash is roasting, heat chorizo in a large skillet over medium high heat and stir frequently. Continue cooking 2-3 minutes or until oils start to release.
- Remove chorizo from pan using a slotted spoon and let drain on a plate covered with paper towel.
- Add diced onion to the warm pan and sprinkle in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion becomes translucent about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in cooked farro, diced tomatoes, smoked paprika and cayenne. Cook until heated through, 4-5 minutes.
- Add green peas and cook until bright green – 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
- Scoop farro and chorizo mixture into all four halves of the squash. Feel free to fill the squash up high!
- Sprinkle each half evenly with shredded Manchego cheese.
- Bake until cheese is brown and bubbly, 15-20 minutes.
- Serve with minced scallions.
