Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion ( preferably a sweet variety such as maui , wall walla or vidalia, cut into small dice , about 1/2 cup)
4 oz butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
1 medium granny smith apple, peeled, cored, cut into 1/4- 1/2 inch cubes
1/3 cup dried sweetened cranberries, coarsely chopped
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups uncooked basmati rice , rinsed according to package directions
2 1/2 cups about vegetable broth (or water

Directions:

Heat oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, then add the squash, apple, cranberries and salt; stir to combine, and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the rice, stirring to coat evenly; then add the broth or water. Allow the liquid to come just to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes.
Cover and reduce the heat so the liquid is barely bubbling at the edges; cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the rice is tender and all of the broth or water has been absorbed; use a fork to stir once halfway through cooking.
Turn off the heat; let the finished rice sit, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
Uncover, fluff with a fork and serve. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
