Ingredients:

Serving

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 sweet onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp curry powder , to taste
nutmeg , to taste
1 1/2 cups arborio rice, uncooked (italian style )
1/2 cup dry sherry (optional)
3 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup water, heated
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (for garnish )
parsley (for garnish )

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Place the acorn squash, cut side down on a well oiled baking sheet.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until 'fork' tender.
Remove from the oven, and let cool for a few minutes.
Scoop out the roasted squash from the skins and set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat, and sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
Add the curry, spices, and uncooked Arborio rice and stir well, until the rice is coated.
Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
Combine the water and vegetable broth.
Add the sherry, and 1 cup of the broth, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently for 7-8 minutes.
When most of the liquid is absorbed, add the remaining cups of broth 1 cup at a time, stirring and simmering until each cup of liquid is absorbed before adding the next one. (The whole process should take about 20-25 minutes.).
When the final cup of liquid is mostly absorbed, add in the roasted squash and mix well.
Continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the rice is creamy, yet still retains some bite.
Add freshly ground pepper, cover and set aside for a few moments before serving.
Garnish with pecans and parsley.
