I grew everything here in my garden; it was from the first harvest, so it was a lot cheaper on the budget, because we all know fresh fruit and veggies can get expensive. All in all, we had a great time cooking our 'own' food. Even my 4-year-old had fun helping. You can add sausage to the rice just to give a little extra kick.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6 ounce) package wild rice (such as Uncle Ben's ®)
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

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds in the stuffing instead of pine nuts.
