Instructions:
- Peel and cube the squash.
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Rinse the wild rice under cold water to remove any excess starch.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the cubed squash and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the rinsed wild rice to the pot and mix well to combine with the squash and aromatics.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth and stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender and the squash is cooked through.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup raisins and let the stew cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. The raisins will plump up and add a subtle sweetness to the stew.
- Taste the stew and season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Ladle the stew into bowls and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, sauté the garlic and onions until they are caramelized before adding the other ingredients.
- If you prefer a thicker stew, mash a few pieces of the cooked squash before serving.
- Consider adding spices like cumin or paprika to enhance the flavor profile.
- Adjust the consistency by adding vegetable broth if the stew is too thick.
- For added nutrition, you can include other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers.
