Curried pumpkin rice

Yield: 4 Servings

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c Rice; long grained
• 2 tb Butter or -oil
• 1 Onion; small - chopped
• 1 c Pumpkin; diced -raw
• 1 ts Curry powder
• 2 c -Water

Instructions:

pn -Salt Heat butter or oil in medium size saucepan add onions. Cook about 3 minutes till wilted add pumpkin . Cook another few minutes till pumpkin softens (about 5 minutes) ; stir in curry. Cook one minute. Add rice; coat well with onion mixture. Add water and salt; bring to a boil. Lower heat cover. Cook gently 15 minutes. Turn heat off allow to rest at least 7-10 minutes to absorb water before serving. Adjust seasonings to taste if necessary. Although I have not tried it I assume any firm winter squash could be substituted for the pumpkin. Source: The Toronto Star Bonnie Stern's _Quick Cuisine_ column
