Stuffed Squash with Bulgur and Feta

Contributed By: Lizzie

This vegetarian dish can be prepared up to a day ahead; fill the squash halves with the cooked bulgur mixture, then refrigerate, covered, until ready to bake.

Ingredients

4 Large summer squash (about 8 ounces each)

2 tbl Olive oil

1 Small onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup Sliced almonds

3/4 cup Bulgur wheat

2 cups Water

8 ounces Feta cheese, crumbled

Coarse salt and ground pepper to taste

Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve each squash lengthwise; slice off a sliver of skin from each half so they sit flat. Scoop out flesh with a small spoon, leaving a 1/4-inch border; chop finely, and reserve. Place squash halves on a rimmed baking sheet, skin sides down; set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add reserved chopped squash, onion, almonds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is dry, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Add bulgur and 2 cups water; simmer over medium head until liquid is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes (bulgur should still be slightly crunchy). Remove from heat; stir in feta.

4. Mound bulgur mixture in reserved squash halves. Bake until squash is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
