Acorn Squash With Pepper Rice Stuffing
 
 
1   acorn squash (about 1-1/2 lb)  
1/4 cup    long-grain rice  
1   carrot, coarsely shredded  
1   small sweet green pepper, chopped  
2   cloves garlic, minced  
1 tsp    turmeric  
1/2 cup    water  
1/2 cup    vegetable broth  
1/4 cup    nonfat sour cream, for garnish  
1/4 cup    snipped fresh parsley, for garnish  
 
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Combine the rice, carrots, peppers, garlic and turmeric, and spoon the mixture into the squash cavities. Pour the water into the crockery pot, and add the squash halves, cavity-sides up. Pour the broth into the rice mixture in each cavity. Cook on LOW until the squash and rice are tender, 5 to 7 hours. Serve garnished with the sour cream and parsley.
