- 3 delicata squash
- 3/4 cup millet
- 1/4 cup wild rice
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 1 onion small, diced
- 1 bunch kale tuscan, also known as dino, chopped
- 2 leaves large swiss chard, and stem, trimmed
- 1 radicchio small, about 1/2 cup chopped
- 1 Granny Smith apple diced, when buying organic keep the skin on for more fiber and nutrients
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds pepitas
- 2 handfuls dried cranberries
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 teaspoons tamarind paste I use NEERA'S pure tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 3 teaspoons ground cumin
- 3 teaspoons curry ground
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Earth Balance Spread
- Preheat the oven temperature to 400 degrees F
- Meanwhile in a small saucepan set over medium high heat, add water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
- When boiling, add millet and rice, cover and reduce to simmer.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes until you see little holes for fluffiness.
- For Stuffing:
- In a large saute pan set on medium heat, add oil, and Earth balance spread.
- When melted add diced onions.
- Toss to coat onions well for a minute.
- Then add the cinnamon stick, curry, cumin, cinnamon. Combine well.
- Add diced apples, stir for 2-3 minutes until just beginning to soften.
- Add kale, swiss chard and remaining 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Toss well (I use tongs to grab and turn over big leafy greens, no mess). It will look like a huge amount in the pan but it will shrink within a minute.
- Add radicchio, and cranberries. Combine well.
- Cook for another minute until greens have softened but still have a little firmness.
- Add tamarind paste, and pepitas, mix well, cook another minute until done.
- Add the millet/wild rice mixture to the pan, mix.
- Scoop stuffing mixture into the halved delicata squash shells.
- Serve hot or warm.
