3 Acorn squash
2 cups Wehani rice -- or rice blend
4 cups Water
1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon Soy margarine -- or butter
1 cup Carrot -- diced
1 cup Celery -- diced
1 cup Onion -- diced
1/4 teaspoon Dried thyme

2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1 tablespoon Orange zest -- minced
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Glaze:
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon honey -- or barley malt

Halve squash lengthwise. Seed, then steam for 20 minutes (squash

Bring water and tamari to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan over

simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. (Rice
may be cooked up to 2 days ahead; refrigerate until used.)
For Stuffing: In a large skillet, saute carrots, celery, onion, thyme
and ginger in margarine or butter until onions are golden. Thoroughly
toss in pecans, orange zest and rice. Season with salt and pepper to
taste. Remove from heat and set aside. (Stuffing may be prepared 1

Put glaze ingredients into a small jar and shake vigorously to
combine. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. (Glaze may be
prepared a day ahead.)
One hour before serving, preheat oven to 375 F. Mound stuffing
mixture into each squash half to about 2 inches over top of squash.
