Method

Cut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and stringy portion.   Arrange, flesh side up, in a baking dish with 1/2 inch of water in bottom. Bake for about 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Stuffing:  Cook onions and mushrooms in 1/4 cup water for 5 minutes. Stir in tamari and spices. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat. Add rice or bread crumbs and mix together well.

When squash has baked about 1 hour and is almost tender, remove from oven. Fill each cavity with stuffing. Return to oven and bake an additional 15 minutes.

To prepare ahead, bake squash for one hour.  Remove from oven and allow to cool while preparing stuffing. When ready to prepare dinner, fill with stuffing mix and bake at 350°F  for 30 minutes.

Serves: 4
