Stuffed Yellow Summer Squash
- 1 (6 ounce) package wild rice (such as Uncle Ben's (R))
- 3 cups water
- 6 yellow squash, halved lengthwise
- 1 splash olive oil, or to taste
- 2 small summer squash, diced
- 2 bell peppers, or more to taste, diced
- 2 cucumbers, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cherry or grape tomatoes, or more to taste
- 1 cup shredded Gouda cheese
- Bring water and wild rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook uncovered for 5 minutes more.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Arrange yellow squash halves onto a baking sheet.
- Bake yellow squash in preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute summer squash, bell peppers, cucumbers, onion, and tomatoes in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Mound rice atop each of the squash halves. Top rice with a portion of the sauteed vegetable mixture.
- Return squash to preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes more. Sprinkle Gouda cheese over the stuffed squash halves and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
