                                 BEEF RAGOUT in SQUASH HALVES

• 6 acorn squash
• 3 pounds beef round roast, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 3/4 cup uncooked long grain rice
• 1 tablespoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 medium onions, sliced,
   Butter, melted
1.  Heat oven to 425˚ F.  Cut squash in half; scoop out seeds.  Place squash cut side down in a shallow baking dish.  Pour in 1-inch of water.  Bake uncovered 20 minutes.  Remove from oven; drain water and invert squash in baking dishes.
2.  Sauté meat in oil and vinegar over medium heat until brown.  Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, the rice, half the salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.  Simmer covered, stirring occasionally until rice is tender, about 40 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt if necessary.   Stir in onions. 
3.  Spoon 3/4 cup of the meat mixture into each squash half.  Brush cut edges of squash with melted butter; cover tightly with aluminum foil.  Bake until hot, about 20 minutes.

Love this recipe... Perfect for fall and so straightforward. Are those brussel sprouts on the side?

Yes Jude, brussel sprouts steamed then seared in a little olive oil with a splash of sherry wine vinegar.
