INSTRUCTIONS
TO 6 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE The sweet-tartness of dried cranberries really shines through in this dish. Combine broth and brown and wild rice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, heat cooking wine in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and brown sugar. Cook until liquid is absorbed and onions are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Slowly cook onions, stirring often, until they are a caramel color, about 25 minutes. Stir in cranberries. Cover and cook over low heat until cranberries swell, about 10 minutes. Transfer rice to a large serving bowl. Gently fold cranberry mixture and orange zest into cooked rice.
