40 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon base
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 11 oz cubed, frozen butternut squash (about 2 cups)
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • ½ cup dried, sweetened cranberries
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Steps

    1. Combine chicken base and boiling water to make 2 cups broth. Preheat large saucepan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place butter in pan, then stir in squash; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until butter begins to brown. Chop shallot and sage (leaves only) finely.
    2. Add shallots and garlic to squash; cook 1 minute. Stir in rice; cook and stir 1–2 minutes until rice is toasted.
    3. Add sage, cranberries, salt, and broth; bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low; simmer 18–20 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Let stand 5 minutes, then uncover and fluff rice with a fork. Serve.
