This recipe came to us from Nava Atlas, the author of "Vegan Holiday Kitchen: More than 200 Delicious, Festive Recipes for Special Occasions." "The first time I came up with this recipe, I thought I'd better cut the recipe in half so my family of four wouldn't be eating it for the rest of the week. What a mistake-we tore through it in no time. While it's a festive eyeful, it's too good to save for only special occasions, and too simple not to make for everyday meals."

Steps:
- If using black rice, combine in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes. If you'd like a more tender grain, add 1/2 cup additional water and cook until absorbed. If using wild rice, combine with 3 cups of water and cook as directed above.
- Just before the rice is done, heat half the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden. Add the scallions and corn kernels and sauté just until warmed through.
- Transfer the cooked rice to the skillet. Turn the heat up to medium-high, then add the lime juice, cilantro, cumin, oregano, thyme, cranberries, and remaining oil. Gently stir the mixture, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, transfer to an attractive serving platter and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top.
