How to Make Wild Rice With Cranberries And Caramelized Onions
- Rinse 1 cup wild rice and ½ cup long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups chicken broth, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice simmers, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to the skillet.
- Cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to low, and continue to cook the onions, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until they are deeply caramelized and a rich brown color.
- Stir in ½ cup dried cranberries and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
- Cover and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cranberries are plump and slightly softened.
- Gently fold the cranberry and onion mixture into the cooked rice. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
