Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 40 minutes
Total: 50 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 medium-sized squash, cut into thick steaks
  • 1 cup chestnuts, roasted and chopped
  • 1 bunch cavolo nero (black kale), stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place the squash steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.

  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened.

  4. Add the rice and dried thyme to the skillet and stir to coat the rice in the oil mixture. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the rice is slightly toasted.

  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  6. Stir in the chopped chestnuts and cavolo nero. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the cavolo nero wilts.

  7. Serve the squash steaks on top of the chestnut and cavolo nero pilaf. Enjoy!
