Steps:
- Place acorn squash cut-side down on a large microwave-safe plate. Cook in the microwave until very soft, about 15 minutes. Let cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
- Peel squash, discarding skin. Combine squash flesh, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and rosemary in a bowl; mash to combine.
- Pour vegetable broth into a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice until coated with butter. Pour in wine, stirring until reduced, about 3 minutes.
- Ladle 1/3 of the vegetable broth into the pot; cook and stir until absorbed. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly, until rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Stir fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese into the rice until melted. Add mashed squash and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; stir until butter is melted and squash is heated through, 2 to 4 minutes.

BAKED ACORN SQUASH STUFFED WITH WILD RICE AND KALE RISOTTO
The filling here is a Greco-Italian fusion, with a little American (wild rice) thrown in. I'm usually not a fusion sort of cook, but I wanted something creamy like risotto to fill these squash. Look for small acorn squash so that each person can have one. They'll be like miniature vegetarian (or vegan) turkeys

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with olive oil. Place the squash in the oven and bake 30 minutes. Each squash should be intact but beginning to give on the side it's resting on, and soft enough to cut through. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes, until the squash has cooled slightly. Then, resting a squash on the slightly flattened side that it was sitting on in the oven, cut away the top third. You will be putting the top "cap" back on once the squash is filled, so cut it off in one neat slice. Scrape out the seeds and membranes from both pieces and set aside. Repeat for the remaining squash. Turn the oven heat down to 350 degrees. Oil a baking dish or sheet pan that can accommodate all of the squash
- Meanwhile, blanch the kale in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine and set aside. Cook the wild rice, following the directions below, and set aside
- Put the stock into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over low heat, with a ladle nearby. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy nonstick saucepan or skillet. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until it is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes
- Add the arborio rice and garlic and stir until the grains separate and begin to crackle. Add the wine and stir until it has been absorbed. Begin adding the simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice, and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, adding more stock and stirring when the rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir constantly, but stir often. Continue to add stock and stir until the rice is almost tender, about 20 minutes. The rice should still be a little chewy. Add another ladleful of stock and stir in the kale, wild rice and herbs. Stir together until the stock is just about absorbed, about 5 minutes, and add another ladleful of stock. Remove from the heat. Add pepper, taste and adjust seasonings. Stir in the remaining olive oil and the Parmesan if using
- Season the surface of the acorn squash with salt, pepper and nutmeg or cayenne (if desired). Fill the hollowed-out squash with the risotto. Place the tops back on the squash and put them in the baking dish or on the sheet pan
- Bake 40 minutes, or until the squash is tender all the way through when pierced with a knife

RISOTTO WITH ROASTED WINTER SQUASH
Roasting squash lightly caramelizes it, making a naturally sweet vegetable even sweeter. I stir a small portion of the roasted squash into this luxurious risotto at the beginning, and the rest at the end of cooking. The squash that is added at the beginning falls apart as the risotto cooks, enriching the mixture and adding color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Toss the squash with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread on the baking sheet in an even layer. Place in the oven and roast for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Remove from the heat.
- Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
- Heat the remaining oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick frying pan or a wide saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add one third of the squash, the garlic, and about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender and the garlic fragrant, about 1 minute, and add the rice. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate.
- Stir in the wine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock, enough to just cover the rice and squash. The stock should bubble slowly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add the sage and another ladleful of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion, not too fast and not too slowly, adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked al dente. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Add the remaining roasted squash and another 1/2 cup of stock to the rice. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley, and immediately remove from the heat. Add freshly ground pepper, taste one last time and adjust salt. The rice should be creamy. Serve at once.

- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until 'fork' tender.

- Combine the water and vegetable broth.
- Add the sherry, and 1 cup of the broth, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently for 7-8 minutes.
- When most of the liquid is absorbed, add the remaining cups of broth 1 cup at a time, stirring and simmering until each cup of liquid is absorbed before adding the next one. (The whole process should take about 20-25 minutes.).
- When the final cup of liquid is mostly absorbed, add in the roasted squash and mix well.

- Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice each squash in half. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then generously brush the inside of the squash with olive oil. Place the 4 squash halves on a baking sheet with the inside of the squash facing down. Bake for 30 minutes and then flip the squash over.
- Once you have flipped the squash, prepare the risotto. Heat the broth in a pot until it is lightly steaming but not bubbling. In a separate pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium heat. Then add the risotto and stir. Stir frequently until the risotto browns very slightly. Then add just enough of the warm broth to submerge the risotto. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer.
- After about 5 or 6 minutes the risotto will have absorbed all of the broth. Stir the risotto with a wooden spoon (stirring with a metal spoon transfers heat unevenly) and add more warm broth to submerge the rice again. I find that risotto is fully cooked after the broth has been added 3 or 4 times. Repeat this until the risotto is tender.
- While the rice is cooking, prepare the mushrooms. In a skillet melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Then add the chopped shallots and sliced mushrooms. Season generously with salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes then add the sherry. Cook medium-low stirring frequently until all the liquid has been absorbed, and the mushrooms have browned. Set aside.
