Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Rinse the wild rice blend and add it to the broth along with a big pinch of salt. Cover with a lid and cook for 45-50 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  2. While the rice is cooking, roast the butternut squash and prep the remaining ingredients.
  3. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, apple, salt and pepper to the skillet and sauté until they're tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the rice, roasted butternut squash, herbs, dried cranberries, pecans and pepitas into the skillet and stir until combined. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Cover with a lid and bake in the over for 20 minutes at 350° F. This step is optional and can be skipped if you'd prefer to just serve it immediately.
