Baked Carnival Squash with Smoked Bacon and Rosemary

Labels: { Herbs and Spices, Pork, Pumpkin }

Carnival Squash - Cream colored with orange spots or pale green with dark green spots in vertical stripes. Carnival Squash have hard, thick skins and only the flesh is eaten. It is sometimes labeled as a type of acorn squash.
The delicious yellow meat is reminiscent of sweet potatoes and butternut squash and can be baked or steamed then combined with butter and fresh herbs. Also great in soups. Source: What's Cooking America

Recipe Source: Kürbis aus dem Ofen-Essen und Trinken

1 Carnival squash (acorn or hokkaido)
Salt and black pepper to taste
100 g Smoked bacon, diced
50 g Olive oil
1/2 tsp Dried rosemary
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/5 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Sugar

Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Cut carnival squash into halves, scoop out seeds and fibers, and cut each half into two chunks. Place them cut-side up on a shallow baking tray. Sprinkle some salt and black pepper.
Dice the bacon and combine with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, nutmeg and sugar in a bowl. Divide the mixture among the carnival chunks. Bake in the middle of the hot oven for 25-30 minutes.

Andrea the Kitchen Witch 26/10/10 15:12: These look really delicious. I've never added bacon to squash, now I wonder what my problem was!! What a great idea! My squash plants did great this year in the garden so I'm always on the look out for new ideas, this one tops the list so far! Can't wait to try these myself :)
Unknown 26/10/10 15:13: Bacon? I'm in!!!!!

Roxan 26/10/10 16:27: This squash looks great, I can see where it gets its name! One question - do you eat the rind of the squash too? I'm still a bit of a newbie to squash.. I've made only two (butternut and gold nugget) and both of those had smooth skins that I peeled before cooking. I see that you cooked yours with the skin on.
Jeannie 26/10/10 16:35: That looks good and so simple to make. I don't like cutting the pumpkin though.:P
ann low 26/10/10 16:43: Love the beautiful color of the squash. Clever idea to add smoked bacon and spices on it, look so yummy :)

Angie's Recipes 26/10/10 18:15: @Roxan
No, I just scoop the flesh out. The rind of this type of squash is rather tough.

Anonymous 13/11/11 21:31: I tried this with a few changes: maple syrup instead of sugar, pork/rice sausages. 30 minutes was not long enough, I covered it with tinfoil at 30 and cooked 30 more minutes. That created juices on the bottom I added water to mix it up with the squash to keep it from being too dry. Yes, I peeled off the skin and mixed all the goodies into the squash alongside the juices that I made from the bottom juices of the pan. Yummy
