This was surprisingly wonderful and surprisingly cheap to make. For the two of us it cost around 5 or 6 dollars. It was also fairly easy to make, but I had two issues, number 1, Acorn Squash is almost impossible to cut in half and number 2, it took me almost 2 hours to complete this meal. I think my lack of knowledge on leeks donated some of the length of cook time, I had to youtube how to cut/cook/whatpartdoyoueat. Once I learned that it was a fairly painless process of waiting around for the squash to cook in the oven and for the rice to cook on the stove. LOTS of waiting. But when it was finally done it looked like a masterpiece.
I used half as many squash(es??) as it said to use but still kept the same amount of everything else.. so if you're planning on making this recipe I would double the amount of rice and all that if you're sticking with making the 2 whole squash. The rice was just enough to completely fill two halves.
Look at that handsome man and his half squash-bowl.
I highly recommend this meal! It's very good if you have just 2 or 4 adults. I'm not so sure this would be something convenient to make if kids were going to eat it, I feel like rice would be flung all over the place while they're trying to dig the squash innards out.
