Sausage & Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe - Squash Stuffed with Lamb Sausage & Rice

[NixKyoimi]

Does it have to be spicy sausage? :< My poor mouth cant handle spicy.

[8KY8]

I LOVE SQUASH MORE

[smartinez020]

I love squash!!!!!!

[pis1am]

dear chef, can i steam the squash be4 to make the baking time shorter? looking forward ur answer! :) thnks!

[Skodoodle]

Can you prep these for a week or two before, so that other preparations can be made, for a party? While they still remain fresh and tasty to eat when cooked?

[sakarim]

Can I somehow make the sausage? We only eat kosher and that kind of sausage is hard to find. Any other replacements or place I can go to find that?

[KahluaBomb]

@sakarim There's tons of websites that tell you how to make sausage, but if you took ground meat of your choosing and added in whatever spices you liked, it would work out the same, just mix well.

It's like making a kanish. Grind it all up and mix it well.

[JaylaZeeJay]

I opened my mouth when he scooped them.

[blanknot]

mmmm I love eating babies.

[riveness]

I do something very similar using hot peri peri and a marrow as the holder.

[MishaBKLYN]

Chef John, I made this dish the other night, but a more Middle-Eastern slant. BTW, I cleaned & roasted the acorn seeds and used them as a garnish atop the halves with a dolop of yogurt. Mighty delicious.

[intimom]

Chef John, this was awesome. Thanks. :)

[carddealer1214]

ok, chef John, your obviously a genius, but can you make fruitcake not so...dry and gross?

[shtoonkeygseers]

u guys should do a food-off with epicmealtime.

[loftanab]

i am making this right now with carnival squash :D

[sexydds2010]

i am gonna marry a chef.

[psyroptus]

@foodwishes I just whant to thank you Chef John! I made this recipe last night for my birthday! I ate it with my loved ones and it was just perfect. You give me so much inspiration for all my meals. Thank you again!!

[GAYPRIDE1985]

I LOVE foodwishes.....but this looks, well.....gross.

[demlikposet]

Those hand really shaved

lol

it's a good thing though

[AutomatedCritic]

should you fork the squash before you put it in the oven ?

[Lilsnukems]

Did anyone else have an issue with their lamb not being cooked? I baked mine for 2 hrs and the lamb was still pink. I cut one of these in half to serve to a friend and was greeted by pink lamb. Maybe I should have baked at 375 instead of 350.

[TheNewMusic201]

YOU SHAVED YOUR HAND :D

[Lilsnukems]

I plan on making this today.. so excited! Headed to Wholefoods right now!!!!!

[VidsByMetz]

Would it work with chorizo? :D

[dvinb12345]

I made this and the stuffing came out really dry. Any thoughts?

[SunflowerTech]

i spotted the hot steam. u did not wait :O

[narksterferret]

My food wish... Chicken Pot Pie!

[cla213cla]

looks delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aurorified]

That sausage looked like poop

[blonny82]

Chef John. That looks so good that I don't think I would be able to stop at just one.

[uirmeg]

i used to be a chef then i took an arrow to the knee

[mrfadi]

Hello this is chef John from "i torture you" .com with ...... you can't do the same you just watch

[surprisinglyfresh]

I don't like food, can I substitute rocks instead?

[caylinklein]

everytime he says enjoy I can just imagine him smiling that cheesy grin :D

[thelumbahjack]

how fun to see two of my youtube favorites do similar dishes! Maanchi did "Sweet pumpkin with rice stuffing" i love both of you!

[Silverstarlightt]

I have no idea why I always watch these videos so late at night... I'm so hungry ):

[elijah79924]

It doesn't even close to looking nasty. He's stupid. Doesn't appreciate great ideas.

[ruiz1707]

NICE!!!

[2stepsfwd5back]

hey ChefJohn! I was wondering can I use this stuffing in Bell Peppers making stuffed peppers?

[idahama]

@2stepsfwd5back i was thinking of the same..

[JillPakie]

watching chef john's videos at night when you're craving is a fatal mistake

[123Proness321]

Make a vid on Dec 16 :D My b day

[muncher541]

that looks nasty...

[CloysterRulez]

@muncher541

Its not always about the looks

[lameristotel]

I thought he shaved his hands!

[AlbinoBlueSquirrel]

deja vu... but anyway, i love how all the videos linked to this are CMPLETELY unrelated... fail. looks yummy though, i've made lots of your other stuffed squash recipe and i'm eager to see how the acorn squash tastes although the filling is practically the same

[rosiek26]

i die.

[neurocosm]

ROCK & ROLL !

[spokehedz]

1:30 - 1:40 -- You so did not need to squish out that spicy sausage like that... I know it tastes good, but it looked horrible.

[DaxxMurph]

You forgot the creme fraiche.

[mouthsweet]

if i don't like mint :o what can be a substitute for mint? thank you<3

[XuBlax]

@mouthsweet maybe parsley and a little bit of rosemary, im sure chef john can reccomend something far better tho ^^

[LucLeFou]

my birthday is tomorrow...can I make a request?

[foodwishes]

@LucLeFou Yes, as long as it's for rum balls.

[LucLeFou]

@foodwishes

deal

[paka576]

@foodwishes goday sir

[PlatypusGuitar]

@LucLeFou arent you that guy from fredericton who knows the band playing on my cooking videos?

[LucLeFou]

@PlatypusGuitar

Yes indeed, weaksize fish... I loooove chef john and cooking ;)

[MikisPantry]

Interesting! Reminds me of pineapple fried rice...in a pineapple shell.

[tofuthighs]

Omg deliciousssssss

[wondorfamily]

Never Heard of That Recipe, It's Not Bad

[foodwishes]

@wondorfamily Please don't use title case.

[achung2526]

@foodwishes Why Not?

[meggiemeg86]

@wondorfamily Did You Sleep Through Elementary Grammar?

[GodlessPrick]

@wondorfamily You don't have to hear about a recipe in order for it to exist, or to be good.

[cyoohoos]

You almost need an axe to cut these squash. I love spaghettti squash, but was always afraid of cutting it. Then I saw where you can par-boil it prior to cutting. nice

[shenerdist]

On my birthday!

[Leadman1989]

This gave me a boner... no lie

[CulinaryNet]

This looks really good.  We love acorn squash and this certainly is a new twist!

[ybn7831]

omg I wan...

om nom nom

[GoldDove77]

Where's the cayenne?

[PlatypusGuitar]

thats gotta be even better than the summer squash version for a few months ago

[nukezat]

YUM! You can give it even a bit more Mediterranean flavor by adding some minced onions and serving some Tzatziki sauce on the side.

[jonathano1989]

@1:43 ur going to add HUMAN?!?!?!

[misssoumsoum]

@jonathano1989 AHAAHAHAHAH

No cumin

[Keysta7]

That looks fuckin' delicious.

[amiralisadeghi]

Nice one, stuffing is quite similar to Dolma, give that a try once ;)

search wikpedia for Dolma

[punkrockprinjess]

Chef, have you ever made dolma? it looks like a famous persian/turkish/greek delicacy called dolma...I suggest you give it a try :) 

[fuckthisfuckbullshit]

GOURDgeous hahahahahahahaha.

[sylvia5932]

mmmmmmmm my mouth just watered!! thanks Chef John :P

[raydj87]

Very cool!

[phimac10]

Going to buy it right now.,

[TheDennismei]

fzxdi;scljdpniso;xzsigbdfv sorry i had to wipe drool off my keyboard

[maraskywalkeriii]

That is the yummiest stuffed squash I've ever seen. I've been researching for quite sometime on different for stuffed squashed recipes, and this is it, this is the one I want to try.

Exotic spices, fatty sausage, and rice, what more do you need?

[MsTovlu]

Chef John I'd like to see what you could do with moose meat and bannock =)

[Squinchyy]

What kind of knife is that your using ?

[xC4Rbonx]

NOM NOM NOM, John.

[floalexe]

Chef John please would u cook one day rabbit meat , until then i'm watching all your recipes !!

[riceball23]

I've always wanted to ask, where do you do most of your grocery shopping?

[Dawnova]

I wonder if one day you're going to cook yourself chef

[MrTony12000]

when do you get that acorn pumpkin

[TheCuteGurl88]

Use this stuffing for vineleaves :D

[timeofnine]

Great recipe!

[TheKitchenWitch1]

I am loving these recipes that feature squash as they tend to be vegetables I avoid. This looks so beautiful Chef John!

[Songwriter88]

Looks good never had lamb though 

[ellelesrose]

This would so work for any stuffing!! gonna try this with green pepper!!!

[DariushArdavan]

this reminds me of the turkish dish were u take red paprika/peppers, or wathever you call them in english and then stuff them with a similar meat rice stuffing. is this also a turkish dish?

[ellelesrose]

@DariushArdavan lol I was thinking the same thing. It would work with paprika so well!!! Omg I am drooling.

[TheVittleVlog]

Have to try this one.....thanks!

[lakegirl645]

I was looking for a new recipe for dinner tonight, and this is it! Thanks Chef! :)

[Malakaiea]

looks yummy sucks im a vegetarian lol

[foodwishes]

@Malakaiea Yes to both. ;)

[shonenjumpfan]

@Malakaiea Being a vegetarian isn't a disease. You can, ya know, STOP being a vegetarian.

[Malakaiea]

@shonenjumpfan Never stated it was just what I am dude lol

[LipGlossNBlack]

LOL. As Chef John picked up some sausage and squash with the fork, I actually starting blowing at my computer screen trying to cool down the bite of food. And then I realized what I was doing. *facepalm*

[Abeba323]

@LipGlossNBlack Quite possibly my FAVORITE YOUTUBE COMMENT. Ever. In all seriousness, that's a completely socially acceptable response to a foodwishes video...sure you're not the only one... ;)

[ith4aja]

@LipGlossNBlack I read your comment before I watch the video and remind my self not doing the same thing.. and it did'nt work.. I blow my screen too.. hahaha :D

[lfi18593]

This is defenately a new recipe to me! Thank you for introducing it! :)

[SperDrgnAznSlyer9001]

i don't even cook, i just watch these videos cuz they're all so gooooooddd *drool

[sjsawyer]

Thank you for giving me a new recipe for these things. I tend to always just bake them with some brown sugar and honey.

[sossow1]

omg!! this looks DELICIOUS.. I woke up this morning planning to start The Cabbage Soup Diet... GOD i wish i did not see this video lol.. No harm in having it shifted one more day lol

[staindstreams]

This looks heavenly. Sadly I've never had squash or lamb, but that must change soon.

[Juniorwazhomeless]

ok this is torture, just pulled a wisdomteeth out and i cant eat or drink for 3 hours!!

[Moulde]

Uhhh this looks delicious! :) Anyone know other youtube cooking channels? I've looked for a while and that keithsnow or whatever is the best i've found, though this channel is still and order of magnitude better :)

[sapphireXsecrets]

@Moulde Nobody does it like Chef John ;)

[staindstreams]

@Moulde cookingwithdog is good but its mostly Japanese cuisine. I don't eat it myself but it's interesting to see how the dishes are prepared. Never a dull moment watching those.

[MindGem2010]

helloo chefff i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :D:D

[CFBasics]

why dont u take off the white part on the egg yolk? 

[Clone16165]

The Merguez isn't always made of lamb :)

[PinkishValerie]

I am soo gonna make this!!! Thanks;)

[abcmole]

Looks great!

Now to figure out how to make it with my microwave. :)

[iloveflavor]

How beautiful! I stuffed a pumpkin for my Thanksgiving video - such a delicious treat to eat stuffed squash/veggies. Have a flavorful & fun Holiday season!

[idahama]

Chef John, do you have children?

[A1ll9e5n]

Do this with a Durian and tell me what you think. :DDD

[rebostorm19]

no cayenne...cannot accept -_-

[badjer1785]

should the rice be a little 'rare', wont it over cook in the oven? or itll be sealed?

[miskee11]

Why did you tap the squash instead of the knife? The momentum does not transfer to the knife, but instead moves through the squash and only hits the cutting board and the table.

[Raggadouche]

1:43 some human what?

[Jabberpocky1]

I was going to make this delicious Chef John recipe.

Then I took an arrow to the knee.

[nokomarie1963]

@Jabberpocky1 We all took an arrow to the knee and look where it got us!

[nokomarie1963]

Not into sausage, props for the squash.

[jetizon]

this is way better than studying for finals....

food wish = COLLEGE EASY MEALS FOR THE LAZY!

[levon60153]

LOOKS SOOO GOOOD

[09adk]

OMG!!! Its look so good....

[Opsomaniac]

Does anybody else like to eat food scalding hot?

[tribekat]

what does the crust protect the stuffing from, exactly? me from eating it immediately?

[MyChefGreg]

Oh so orgasmic!

[xxLilJXxX]

did he say some human?

[NextInvader]

@xxLilJXxX Cumin. Not human. LOL.

[GooGoowa]

lovely!!!!! :D thanx Chef <3

[annatharakan1612]

Hi John, you are making my life so easy!.. hahaha

[marSo1592]

jeje el relleno crudo no se ve muy rico, pero ya cocinado se ve mejor jeje además debe saber bien porque los ingredientes son ricos!!! ;)

[poyete]

@marSo1592 Isn't it better if you just make your comment in english so more people could undertand you?

Vamos, digo yo...

[marSo1592]

@poyete yes its better, but you can learn spanish too so you can understand me jajajajaja no acostumbro a comentar en español de echo siempre comento en inglés por lo mismo pero ayer me dio pereza... y hoy jaja ;)

[nokomarie1963]

@marSo1592 Si, es muy rico, pero eso es un idea.

[Afiqster129]

Is it ok to make this without rice??

[zackboomer]

@Afiqster129 do anything you want, that is what cooking is about

[routhoula]

this is the first time i see or hear about acorn squash o.O is it a fruit or a vegetable?

[AdoaN17]

@routhoula veggie. just like a regular squash.

[oKASHmANo]

@AdoaN17 wrong its a fruit... it has seeds.

[eligeti89]

But the question is....can you adopt me? :D

[thezachman]

I WISH FOR YOU TO MAKE A CLASSIC CANADIAN POUTINE!

[rawimpact]

@thezachman f uc kt he canadians

[zackboomer]

[IcePrincess619]

[TheCrapinabox]

@LuLeProductions haha, I agree with that. No matter how early/late it is, if Im about to close youtube and see a foodwishes video, ill watch it. Even though it normally makes me go to bed hungry :(

[tupapachiko]
