Butternut Squash with Roasted Chestnuts, Pearl Onions, Sage and Wild Rice
I created this wintery, vegetarian main dish using ingredients I had on hand. Frozen pearl onions are a great time saver, as they are already peeled. Pre-cooked and peeled chestnuts are also handy, which can be found in better supermarkets or online, jarred or vacuum packed. You can reheat them in the oven or in a skillet. The most time consuming part is peeling and cutting the butternut squash. The wild rice really helps had a nice nutty flavor and a good texture, since the butternut squash and chestnuts are quite soft.
