Thanks, Tamar. I see now where the recipe says “divide and serve hot”.
How can this recipe serve 4 using only 1 acorn squash cut in half?
As a side dish we would think most people would eat a quarter of a squash so that is why we have 4 servings.
I bet that would work wonderfully.
Can Quinoa be used in place of rice?
