Wild Rice with Roasted Butternut Squash and Shallots

 
Faced with the need for a creative side dish to go with a roasted chicken one evening last week, I decided to be inspired by what was in the fridge and on the kitchen counter. Some leftover wild rice, a small butternut squash, and a handful of shallots provided all the ingredients I needed for a tasty and simple accompaniment to the bird. Find the easy recipe here.
