Cooking Steps

Add 3 thyme sprigs, broth concentrate, wild rice medley, 1 tbsp butter, 1 cup water and half the garlic salt to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 24-28 min.
Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Meanwhile, strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop.
Add squash, chopped thyme and 1 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp salt, then toss to coat.
Roast in the midddle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 22-25 min.

Meanwhile, add almonds to another unlined baking sheet.
Toast almonds in the top of the oven until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn!)
Transfer almonds to a plate.
Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
Finely chop parsley.
Combine half the parsley, half the feta, 1/8 tsp salt and 2 tbsp oil in a small bowl. (TIP: Use extra virgin olive oil for best results!) (NOTE: This is your parsley-feta oil.)

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 3-4 min.
Add leeks. Cook, stirring often, until tender, 3-4 min.
Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper, to taste.
Transfer mushrooms and leeks to a large bowl.

Add squash to the bowl with mushrooms and leeks.
Carefully remove thyme sprigs from the pot with wild rice medley, then fluff rice with a fork.
Transfer rice to the bowl with veggies.
Drizzle parsley-feta oil over top, then stir to combine.
Cover with foil and set aside until ready to serve.
Increase the oven temperature to 475°F to cook striploin roast.

Before serving, add pomegranate seeds and half the almonds to the bowl with rice and veggies, then stir to combine.
Transfer squash and rice medley to a serving platter.
Sprinkle remaining feta, remaining parsley and remaining almonds over top.
