Very flavorful and healthy dish. However, it took forever for the butternut squash to soften. Next time I think I would roast it first and maybe add it with the rice. I added mushrooms because I needed to use them up.
Thanks for letting me know! Usually the smaller pieces of butternut are the best to use here 🙂
