Sous Vide Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe

I'm always looking for new ideas to bring vegetables to the center of the plate. Since I was young, I've always loved the sweetness of acorn squash - along with the fact that it makes a perfect little bowl all on its own! Using sous vide to cook the squash, lentils and grains in this recipe allows the squash to cook evenly from edge to center, emerging perfectly tender, deeply infused with butter and maple syrup, and never waterlogged or mushy. The result is a vegetable-forward dish with restaurant-level texture and flavor that's difficult to achieve with traditional roasting alone. Feel free to customize the recipe by changing out what's in your stuffing to make it your own and take advantage of what's in season!
