Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized squash (such as acorn or butternut)
- 1 cup crab meat, cooked and shredded
- 1 large potato, peeled and diced
- 1 medium daikon radish, peeled and shredded
- 1 cup zranweed (or any mild seaweed, if unavailable)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet.
- Roast the squash in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
- While the squash is roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potato and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, shredded daikon radish, zranweed, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well mixed.
- In another bowl, gently mix the crab meat with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. If you like, add some chopped herbs for extra flavor.
- Once the squash is done roasting, carefully flip it cut side up. Fill each half with the crab mixture, packing it in gently.
- Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the crab is heated through and slightly golden.
- Plate the stuffed squash alongside the potato and daikon salad. Garnish with fresh herbs.
