BALSAMIC ROASTED WINTER SQUASH AND WILD RICE SALAD
Squash absorbs the rich, acidic flavor of balsamic vinegar in the most inviting way; the idea of tossing it with the vinegar before roasting comes from Heidi Swanson. Put this delicious autumn salad in your Thanksgiving file. Make sure to cook the wild rice until it begins to splay or you won't get the full nutty flavor of the grains

Steps:
- Rinse the wild rice. Bring the water or stock to a boil in a medium saucepan, add salt to taste and the rice. Bring back to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 45 minutes, until the rice is tender and has begun to splay. Drain through a strainer, return to the pot and cover the pot with a clean dishtowel. Return the lid to the pot and let sit for 10 minutes
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the squash in a bowl or directly on the baking sheet and toss with salt to taste, the balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Spread on the baking sheet in an even layer and make sure to tip all of the liquid remaining in the bowl over the squash. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes so that the squash browns evenly. The squash should be tender all the way through. Remove from the heat
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt to taste and mustard. Whisk in the remaining olive oil and the walnut oil
- Combine the wild rice, squash, herbs and celery in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing. Add salt and pepper to taste. Line a platter, individual plates or a wide salad bowl with the baby spinach or arugula. Top with the salad and serve

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a knife, cut a very thin disk from the bottom of each squash half so that they sit level. Using a pastry brush, coat the squash inside and out with vegetable oil. Place on a baking sheet, sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 55 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the wild rice in a small saucepan and add 3 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, covered, until the grains just begin to pop open, 30 to 40 minutes. Drain and set aside. In another saucepan, bring 1 cup water and 1/2teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add long-grain rice, stir once, cover and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
- In a medium skillet set over medium heat, melt the butter. Add olive oil, onion and raisins and cook, stirring, until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Add all the rice and cook, stirring, until heated through. Stir in the chopped chervil and tarragon, season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Spoon mixture into the baked squash shells, mounding it slightly. Garnish with chervil sprigs and serve.
