We can’t get enough of Squash and Other Fall Ingredients, and with one bite of any of our recipes, you’ll understand why!
Maple Mania
While it may seem strange to mix this sweet sap with rice, no one would bat an eye when considering pairing maple syrup with the other fall ingredients used here – butternut squash, apple, and rosemary. Think of Minute® Rice as the fluffy, protein-packed canvas for the masterpiece that is your meal. Our basmati rice will not only absorb all the flavors of your dish but also leave you feeling satisfied!
Choose the maple syrup – golden, amber, dark or very dark– with the flavor intensity you’re looking for as darkest will have the strongest maple flavor. Store opened syrup in the fridge, where it will last for a year.
