This miniature charmer was sweeter than carnival squash (contrary to my expectations based on admittedly limited research) and almost a little nutty with a tender texture and thin skin, so I decided that it would make a perfectly irresistible example of stuffed squash, complete with edible serving bowl. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1440\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ethnojunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_1426-edited-1440-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTurned out to be rather photogenic as well. I cut off the top, cleaned it out, and roasted it flesh side down until it was soft; then I filled it with a mixture of sweet cranberries, chewy wild rice, crunchy toasted cornbread croutons, saut\u00e9ed apple cubes and pecans. Looks good enough to eat, right?
