Directions
Acorn Squash Stuffed With Lamb & Curry, This recipe is from Apple Companion , which I found at Amish Acres in the heart of Indiana’s Amish country If you ever have a chance, pick up a copy of this cookbook! I have found most of the recipes to be outstanding, including this one, which I make at least once every fall or winter , This was great We made with one tweak: We used coconut milk instead of heavy cream As a result, the stuffing didn’t thicken as much in the pan is it probably would have otherwise, but that didn’t matter to us The flavors of the stuffing were delicious , Out of necessity used two smaller acorns and I substituted equivalent amounts of diced green tomato and coconut cream for the apple and thick cream Excellent result
