Moroccan Stew
Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 acorn squash, halved and roasted
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup lentils, rinsed and cleaned
1 cup brown rice
1 tablespoon coriander
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons curry powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 1/2 cups vegetable stock, divided
1 onion, chopped

1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
Fresh flat-leaf parsley and mint, for garnish

Directions
Split the squash in half and remove the seeds and
fibers. Brush the flesh with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with cinnamon,
salt and pepper. Roast on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree F oven for about 25
minutes, until fork tender. Cool and set aside.

Combine lentils and rice in a medium saucepan; add coriander, bay leaf, curry
powder, salt and pepper. Pour in 3 1/4 cups of broth to cover by at least 2
inches. Turn the heat to medium and cook 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently. If
you need to add more liquid to keep the mixture wet do so, a little at a time.

Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add onions and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Rehydrate the
apricots with remaining 1/4 cup vegetable stock. Stir in the lentils and rice.
Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Bring the components together by
spooning the mixture into the roasted acorn squash. Season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with parsley and mint.
