Ingredients

  • 1 medium Butternut Squash, peeled, seeded and diced into bite-size pieces
  • 1 large Red Onion, peeled and sliced
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups / 375 mL cups Dainty Basmati Rice
  • 1/2 cup/125 mL Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup/125 mL 10% Cream
  • 1 bunch fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 10 gherkin pickles, chopped rough
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced very fine

Preparation

1

Preheat oven to 450F / 230C

2

In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash with the red onion, enough olive oil to coat generously, the smoked paprika, and season with plenty of salt and pepper. Place in a deep baking dish, large cast iron frying pan, or a large deep frying pan, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

3

Remove the squash from the oven and add in the rice. Gently stir to combine, without breaking the squash too much.

4

In a small bowl, stir together the parmesan, cream and 1 ½ cups of water. Pour over the rice and gently stir together. Place back in the oven, reduce temperature to 375F/190C, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the liquid and the rice is cooked. Remove from the oven and allow to rest 10 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, gherkins, and minced garlic. Sprinkle over the rice, drizzle with a little more olive oil, and serve warm.
