Brown Rice and Squash Crockpot "Risotto"
Recipe by: Carolin
Servings: 2 - 4
3/4 cup uncooked short-grain brown rice
1 medium acorn or other winter squash, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
1 tsp black pepper
4 cups water or veggie "chicken" broth
2 cubes veggie "chicken" boullion if using water
balsamic vinegar (optional)
Ok, so it's not real risotto, but you don't have to babysit it like real
risotto and it tastes great!
Sauté onion in non-stick skillet until brown and caramelized.
Add onion and all other ingredients except balsamic vinegar to crock-pot. Cook
on high for 3- 4 hours. (Check water towards the end of cooking to make sure it
is not getting too dry)
Garnish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar before serving.
