Roasted Acorn Squash

This meal is fantastic. I did it for myself and had it for two days.

1 acorn squash, cut in half and roast at 375*F for 50 minutes or until very tender
Once it is roasted you will need
1-2 tbsp of butter
1 med onion, sliced thin
1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper to taste

Melt the butter then add the onions. Cook the onions slowly until tender, add the garlic, coriander, and nutmeg and scoop the acorn squash into the mix. I then seperated it by mashing with my wooden spoon and I added a bit of water to make it easier to manage.

This goes great with brown rice (which you could start when you start the roasting of the acorn squash. Brown rice is 1:2 (rice:water) and cooks for about 40 minutes at a med-low heat)

This meal was one of those surprisingly awesome meals, where you are overjoyed with all the flavor since it is a simple recipe.

Enjoy.
