4 medium acorn squashes
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons coconut oil
3 cups water
Pinch of sea salt
1 cup forbidden rice (Chinese black rice)
2 medium onions, sliced into very thin half moons
2 vegetable bouillon cubes
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 tomatoes, chopped
3 cups cooked butter beans or lima beans
1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup finely chopped Italian parsley, for garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Begin by halving the squashes and scooping out their seeds.
3
Place 1 teaspoon of the coconut oil in the center of each acorn half, and spread it to coat the inner surfaces.
4
Cover each half with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 hours (depending on the size of your squash), or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork.
5
While the squash cooks, in a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of the water to a boil with the salt.
6
Add the rice, reduce the heat, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.
7
Remove from the heat and set aside.
8
While the rice cooks, begin making the filling.
9
In a very large saute pan, add the onions, remaining 1 cup water, bouillon cubes, and garlic, and bring to a boil over high heat.
10
Reduce the heat to a simmer, then add the reserved rice, tomatoes, beans, and mushrooms.
11
Cover the pan and continue to simmer on low heat for 1 1/2 hours, or until the mixture resembles a thick stew.
12
Divide the filling among the piping-hot acorn squash halves.
13
Garnish each half with a sprinkling of parsley.
14
Bellissimo!
