Note

The original recipe lists "Arrowhead Mills, Inc." which appears to be a source attribution rather than a preparation step; this has been removed from the directions.

For ingredient substitutions: You can use fresh apples instead of dried for a crispier texture, or substitute raisins with dried cranberries for a tart twist.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.

To make this dish heartier, you can add chickpeas or lentils along with the vegetables.
