Crookneck Squash Stuffed with Bacon, Breadcrumbs and Honey

The Yellow Crookneck squash is easy to grow in your home garden. If you don't have your own garden, you can find these at most farmers' markets and at the super market.

This recipe uses a breadcrumb stuffing flavored with bacon, honey and sage. To add your own touch you could use Italian spices like oregano, basil, fennel, or other. You could also use ham or prosciutto in place of the bacon. Choose ingredients with strong flavors because the flavor of the squash alone is not enough to carry this dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 yellow crookneck squashes, cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed

2 tablespoons yellow onion, minced

2 slices of bread made into crumbs

2 slices of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled

4 tablespoons honey

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon dried sage

Instructions

1 - Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, then add to a food processor along with the bread and sage until crumbed, then set aside.

2 - In the same skillet as used for the bacon, add the olive oil and the minced onion. Cook until the onion is translucent, then add the breadcrumb mixture and continue browning

for 2 or 3 minutes.

3 - Add the milk and stir until it absorbs into the breadcrumbs.

4 - Spoon the stuffing into the squash halves in the cavity where the seeds were removed.

5 - Drizzle the 4 tablespoons of honey over each stuffed squash half.

6 - Place in a microwave safe dish, cover, and bake for 12 minutes on high, rotating the dish halfway through

Note - Microwave ovens are not all the same so you may need to modify the oven time to suit your microwave.
