  •  4 Tablespoons melted Danish Creamery European Style Rosemary Salt Butter, divided
  •  Kosher salt
  •  freshly ground black pepper
  •  ½ cup diced red onion
  •  6 ounces dried apricots, diced
  •  ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar

  •  ½ cup toasted pecans, chopped
  •  1 Tablespoon minced fresh sage
  •  ¼ cup grated parmesan

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Trim ends off both squash so the halves will lay flat, then halve crosswise and use a spoon to scoop out seeds.

  • Heat remaining 2 tablespoons rosemary butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, 8-10 minutes. Add apricots and vinegar. Simmer until apricots are soft, 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cooked farro, pecans, sage and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Flip over roasted squash halves and fill with ½ cup farro mixture. Bake for 5 minutes, until heated through. Serve warm.
