INGREDIENTS:
- ½ cup brown rice
- 1 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1/3 tsp salt
- ½ cup pumpkin, cut into small cubes
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3–4 mushrooms of choice
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- a handful of organic baby spinach stems removed
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp dried cranberries
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by cooking the rice in the broth or water in a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for 15 min. Once the 15 min is up, lift the lid and add the spinach to wilt. Cover for 5 min and fluff with a fork.
- Meanwhile, as the rice is cooking, add the butter to an already hot pan. Add the pumpkin, red onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook for 5 min stirring very little so the veggies can caramelize.
- Add the rice to the veggies and season with black pepper. Top with the dried cranberries and enjoy!
