Ingredienti

2 delicata squash, (similar in size)

Extra virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, (divided)

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup farro

Kosher salt

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 shallot, (chopped)

2 green onions, (white and green parts, trimmed and chopped)

2 garlic cloves, (minced)

1/3 to ½ cup walnuts

1/3 to ½ cup hazelnuts

1/3 cup dried fruit, (such as cranberries or raisins)

Istruzioni

Heat the oven. Position a rack in the middle and heat the oven to 425°F.

Prepare the squash. Wash and dry the delicata squash. To make them easier to slice, microwave them whole for 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove them with oven mitts and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds to make room for the filling.

Season the squash. Brush the flesh and cavities with extra virgin olive oil and season with kosher salt. Mix the cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl, then sprinkle half of the mixture over the squash.

Roast. Arrange the squash halves flesh-side down on a large baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender. Use tongs to flip the squash and roast for 5 more minutes.

Cook the farro. While the squash roasts, cook the farro in salted boiling water according to the package directions. Mine took about 2 cups of boiling water and 20 minutes. The farro should absorb the cooking liquid and be tender but still somewhat chewy.

Make the filling. Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, green onions, and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the remaining cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the walnuts, hazelnuts, and dried fruit and cook until warmed through. Add the cooked farro and toss to combine.

Assemble and serve. Transfer the roasted squash halves to a serving platter. Spoon the warm farro filling into each cavity and serve.
