EASY INSTANT POT ACORN SQUASH
Steps:
- Remove any stickers on the outside, and rinse the squash in the sink. With a sharp and sturdy knife, cut the squash down the center. Don't try to cut through the stem, it's tough and you risk slipping and cutting yourself or breaking your knife. When you cut the squash, use a sharp knife to cut through the tough skin. Scoop out all the seeds and strings using a regular tablespoon. (Don't send these down the disposal.) You can poke holes in the squash, but I don't think it's necessary since squash is pretty porous. Add about one cup of water to the Instant Pot and then set the roasting rack insert in the pot. The water should not touch the insert, otherwise it will leach away some of the nutrients. After putting the squash down, add butter, and whatever flavoring you want. Put the lid on the pot, make sure the vent is sealed, and set the pressure cook to for six minutes. Some people like their squash a little firm, so they cook it for 4-5 minutes, but I like mine soft so I cook it longer. If you find yours isn't soft enough just pop it back in for 1-2 minutes more. Instant Pot recommends doing a quick vent, and I agree, so that the squash doesn't overcook. Carefully lift the insert out or scoop the squash with a spoon or tongs, being careful not to puncture the skin or cause the yummy flavoring in the center of the squash to spill out.

- Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until the rice is tender, about 55 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid. Set aside.
- Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. Place the steamer basket in the pot, then add the squash, cut sides up (they will overlap). Be sure not to exceed the max fill line. If your squash are larger and you exceed the line, cook the squash in two batches. Seal the lid, set pressure valve to sealing, and cook on HIGH (manual) for 4 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then immediately vent to release any remaining pressure. Drain and arrange on a large serving plate or baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium low. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the mushrooms, black pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Increase heat to medium and cook until the mushrooms are softened and browned, about 5 to 7 additional minutes. Add the chickpeas, cranberries, pepitas, thyme, and cooked rice and stir to heat through, about 2 additional minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

- Cook the rice**: In an Instant Pot or digital pressure cooker, stir the rice, sage, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 cup of water. Pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. (Note: It takes about 5 minutes for the pot to “preheat” before it starts cooking. During cooking, avoid touching the metal part of the lid.) After the pot beeps, use the Natural Release method and wait 10 minutes to let the pot cool down naturally (set a timer so you don’t forget!). Then vent any remaining steam by moving the pressure release handle to “Venting”, covering your hand with a towel or hot pad. (Never put your hands or face near the steam release valve when releasing steam.)
- Prep the veggies: While the rice cooks, cut the squash in half and remove seeds, then cut it in half again (into quarters). Set aside until ready for Step 5. Dice the onion and celery. Mince the garlic.
- Toast the pecans: In a dry skillet over low heat, toast the pecans for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
- Make the stuffing: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute the onion and celery 5 to 7 minutes until tender and translucent. Add the garlic, thyme, and oregano, and saute for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant. When the rice is cooked, stir it into the skillet. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, the fresh ground black pepper, butter, and pecans.
