Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

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.

While the rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the meal.

Prep and roast the cauliflower and squash

Cut the cauliflower 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 cauliflower 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.

Prep the pear; finish the lemon tahini

Core and thinly slice the pear.

In a small bowl, season the lemon tahini to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the cauliflower, squash, and pear. Drizzle with as much lemon tahini as you like and garnish with the pumpkin seed dukkah. Serve any remaining tahini on the side.
