Ingredients:

Serving

2/3 cup water
1/3 cup uncooked wild rice
1 1/4 cups diced peeled acorn squash
2 poblano chiles (about 1/4 lb)
1 cup fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups cooked arborio rice
1/2 cup (2 oz) grated fresh romano cheese
2 tbsp butter or stick margarine
1 tbsp chopped fresh or
1 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add wild rice; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until tender. Set aside.
Cook squash in boiling water 4 minutes or until tender. Rinse squash with cold water; drain.
Preheat broiler.
Cut the poblanos in half lengthwise; discard the seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil for 10 minutes or until blackened, turning occasionally. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and chop poblanos. Set aside.
Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the cooked wild rice and Arborio rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium, and add the cheese and butter, stirring until the cheese melts. Add squash, poblanos, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
