Steps:
- To wash or not to wash rice? In the case of basmati, no matter what my preparation is, I always wash it. It cleans out any small particles and it also rids the rice of any starch on the grain. This starch makes the rice gummier when cooked.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, add the rice and 4 cups of cold water. Soak the rice for 1/2 hour.
- In a small bowl, add the cumin seeds, cardamom, fennel seeds, cinnamon, black peppercorns, and bay leaves and stir to combine. Turn the mixture out onto a baking sheet and put it in the center of the oven to lightly toast the spices and awaken the flavors, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the spices to cool.
- Heat a medium saute pan over medium heat and add the butter and the onion. Season with salt and cook until the onions are translucent but not brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the spices. Drain the rice but reserve the soaking water. Stir in the rice and cook until you hear the rice crackling, about 2 minutes. Gently stir in the reserved soaking water. Season with a generous portion of salt and bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook the rice over medium-low heat, uncovered and undisturbed, for about 8 minutes. Take a fork (so as not to damage the rice) and flake a few grains off to taste for doneness. It may need to be cooked another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the rice to "rest" (as you would a roast beef) for 10 minutes before "forking" it gently into a serving bowl. Stir in 3 tablespoons of butter, if desired, and serve.

- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread butternut squash out in an even, single layer on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season generously with Kosher salt. Toss to coat. Roast squash in oven for approximately 25 minutes, until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Meanwhile, rinse rice 1-2 times to remove extra starch then drain. Place rice, vegetable stock, and apple cider in an uncovered saucepan and cook over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, and continue to boil until liquid is reduced slightly below the rice level. Lower heat, top with lid, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all water absorbed and rice is tender.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet. Cook shallot, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Stir in apple, rosemary, and sage, and season generously with Kosher salt. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, until apple is softened.
