INGREDIENTS
- 3 mini winter squash (pumpkins, delicata, kabocha, etc..)
- 1.5 cups wild rice

- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cut the tops off of each squash and carve out the insides so all the seeds are removed. Set aside on a roasting tray.
- In a large skillet over high heat add two tablespoons of ghee. Once melted add in the carrots and mushrooms. Sauté for 6-8 minutes and add in thyme. Continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add in rice, purple kale, and toasted walnuts. Cook until kale begins to wilt. Add in fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper.
- Coat the squash with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Stuff each squash with rice and mushroom mixture. Cover again with top of each squash. Roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Top with additional toasted walnuts and fresh mint leaves.
