1 Onion thinly sliced
10 Apples large diced and seared, kept seperate
2 tablespoons Curry Powder
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne
4 cans Coconut Milk

Brown Rice
Combine water, salt, and rice in a pot and bring to a boil. Slowly simmer with lid on until rice is fully cooked.
Curried Squash
Either roast squash pieces in a 400 degree oven or sear in a hot pan until lightly browned. Heat a large pot or dutch oven until hot. Add a teaspoon of oil and sweat onions. Add raisins, curry powder, and cayenne. Saute until very aromatic. Add coconut milk and honey and bring to a simmer. Add seared squash and simmer until just tender.
Apples
Sear the apples the same way as the squash until slightly browned but still crunchy. Cool in refrigerator.
