By Lynxa

This rice dish was served on set of Pirates of the Caribbean III and the response was overwhelming!

Ingredients

• 1 small butternut squash (1lb)peeled, seeded and cut into 2" cubes
• 1/2 small yellow onion, about 1/2 cup chopped
• 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
• 1 Tbsp coriander powder
• 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup walnuts, crushed
• 2 tsp sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Put small batches of cubed squash in a food processor and process into small pieces.
Put squash in a large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Will keep for 2 days in the fridge.

Tip-potato peeler works great for peeling the skin off squash, then cut in 1/2 lengthwise, remove seeds and cut into smaller pieces.
Substitute-raisins or dates if you can't find cranberries.
