This recipe has more vegetables and less rice on purpose. If you want a rice dish, make it two cups of cooked rice and less zucchini and calabaza.
1
Cook wild rice according to directions, except add Better Than Bouillon to cooking water. Cook until just tender or slightly al dente, remove from heat immediately and let cool, fluffing.
2
In a large saute pan, heat olive oil to medium high until a shimmer. Add onions and saute 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and reduce heat so not to burn. Add tomato halves. Season lightly with counter seasoning. Let cook until soft and just beginning to change color.
3
Add couple tablespoons of tomato stock and let come to a simmer. Add zucchini and calabaza to pan, mix well. Bring heat up a little. Stir well.
4
Add remaining tomato stock, stir to combine well, top with thyme sprigs. Cook total of 8 minutes. 4 minutes covered, 4 minutes not. Add scant amount of water if getting dry.
5
Remove thyme and discard. Fold in rice, combine well. Let simmer 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes.
6
Plate and top with diced dates.
For an entree, add diced portobellos and saute a couple minutes before adding onions.
