Every holiday meal deserves a festive centerpiece. While a turkey is the usual stunner, there’s room for more than one showstopper. An elaborate vegetarian dish can be equally decorative, providing a colorful and festive platter for both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.
Winter squash are natural, vibrant vessels ideal for stuffing with wholesome grains, dried fruit, and nuts. There are many squash varieties that love to be stuffed, including butternut, acorn, and kabocha. If the squash are small, you can serve them individually with their tops as a lid, or if they are large, you can halve or quarter them and spoon the filling over the centers, relying on the serving platter to catch the overflow.
