Wild Rice with Butternut Squash, Leeks, and Corn

Ingredients for Wild Rice with Butternut Squash, Leeks, and Corn

• 275g wild rice (about 250g )

• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

• 675g 1/2-inch cubes peeled butternut squash (from 2.5kg squash)

• 45ml di olio d'oliva

• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter, divided

• 350g finely chopped leeks (white part only)

• 350ml frozen white corn kernels, thawed

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

Rinse rice in strainer under cold water; drain. Bring 1450ml water and 2 teaspoons coarse salt to boil in large saucepan. Add rice; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until rice grains begin to split and are tender but still slightly chewy, about 45 minutes. Drain. Spread on rimmed baking sheet to cool. Transfer to bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Preheat oven to 177°C. Oil rimmed baking sheet. Toss squash cubes and 45ml oil in medium bowl. Spread squash in single layer on prepared sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast just until tender but firm enough to hold shape, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Transfer squash to bowl. Cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Melt 60ml butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and 180ml water; simmer until leeks are tender, about 7 minutes. Add corn; simmer 2 minutes longer. Add rice and butternut squash; simmer until heated through and liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl and serve.
