5 teaspoons or more to taste, Salt
2 teaspoons, Ground Black Pepper
2 cups wild rice
3 oz Grapeseed oil
1 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
1 Tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms (stems removed)
4 cups cleaned and rough chopped kale
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 Tablespoons chiffonade ( cut like ribbons) mint leaves

1) Preheat the oven to 475 degrees
2) In fine meshed strainer, place rice and run under cold water until clean.
3) In medium sized pot, add rice + 2 t of salt + 4 cups of cold water. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil on high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat until rice is simmering.

4) On baking sheet, place squash flesh side up and rub with 1 oz grapeseed oil + 2 t of salt + fresh ground pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Use a fork to test for tenderness.
5) In a separate sauté pan heat 1 oz grapeseed oil on medium-high heat. Add shiitake mushrooms + garlic + 1Ž2 t of salt and sauté until mushrooms are cooked but not browned. Remove from heat and place in large bowl.
6) In the same sauté pan used for the mushrooms, heat 1 oz of grapeseed oil on medium-high heat. Add kale + 1Ž2 t of salt and cook quickly using tongs or a spatula. Keep the kale moving so it doesn’t brown. Once wilted, remove and place in bowl with shiitake mushrooms.
7) In bowl, add cooked wild rice + sesame seeds and mix together.
8) Taste rice mixture and season accordingly
9) Fill the cooked squash halves with the rice mixture. Garnish with mint
