Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
Heat the oven to 425°F.
In a small sauce pot, combine the black rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] lightly salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the kale; cover and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and roast the romanesco and squash
- Cut the romanesco into 1-inch florets, discarding any leaves or thick stalks.
- Trim the ends from the delicata squash. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon, then cut each half crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
On a sheet pan [2 sheet pans], toss the romanesco and squash with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer. Roast, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, 16 to 18 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the pear; finish the cashew dressing
Core and thinly slice the pear.
In a small bowl, stir together the creamy cashew dressing base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the romanesco, squash, and pear. Drizzle with as much cashew dressing as you like and garnish with the pumpkin seed dukkah. Serve any remaining dressing on the side.
