Source: Vegetarian Celebrations: Festived Menus for Holidays and Other Special Occasions/Atlas
This satisfying dish makes a handsome centerpiece for a dinner party or holiday meal. The recipe makes 8 servings.


List of Ingredients




4 medium-small butternut squash (about 1 pound each)
3/4 cup raw wild rice, rinsed
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 heaping cup chopped red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups firmly packed torn whole-wheat bread
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon seasoned salt, or to taste
1 cup fresh orange juice

Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Halve the squash; scoop out seeds and fibers. Place them cut side up in shallow baking dishes; cover tightly with covers or more foil. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until easily pierced with a knife but still firm.

Meanwhile, bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the wild rice, reduce to a simmer, then cover and cook until the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes.

Heat the oil in the skillet. Add the onion and garlic; saute until the onion is limp and golden.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice with the sauteed onion and the remaining ingredients.

When the squash are cool enough to handle, scoop out the pulp, leaving firm shells about 1/2-inch thick. Chop the pulp and stir it into the rice mixture. Stuff the squash, place in foil-lined baking dishes and cover.

Before serving, place the squash in a preheated 350-degree F oven. Bake for 20 minutes, or until well heated through. Makes 8 servings.

Variation: To add drama to this presentation, try this recipe with other squash varieties such as Hubbard, delicata, sweet dumpling and golden nugget.
