Ingredients:
2 delicata squash
1lb farm fresh country sausage
2C riced and cooked (7 minutes in the microwave, no water, stir halfway through) cauliflower or cooked white rice
1/2 onion
2 tbs duck fat or bacon fat
1C chopped apricots or golden raisins (optional)
Salt and Pepper
Herbamare or any spice blend you like
Charleston 10 spice or 1/2 tsp fennel
1/4C chicken broth
Instructions:
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and bake on a sheet face up at 375 for 45 minutes
- In a large saute pan, melt the duck fat to medium high
- add the onion to the pan and douse it in herbamare. like 9 shakes of the container
- fry the onion in the duck fat until it is translucent (8-10 minutes)
- add the pork sausage. Farm fresh pastured pork sausage produces very little grease. If you are using conventional sausage and a lot of oil is rendered, pour most of it off.
- add the fruit if you're using it
- stir and break up the sausage until it is not pink anymore
- add the cauliflower or rice and stir
- add the chicken broth (or beef, veggie or mushroom broth whatever you have)
- add the 10 spice or fennel
- turn the heat down and put a lid on the pan and let it settle for 3-5 minutes
- spoon the pork mixture into the squash halves until they are heaping

Re: Stuffed Delicata Squash
You could add celery and garlic instead of fruit. You could also add fresh herbs like parsley or sage, there are none growing around my house right now so I didn't add them.
