Harvest Rice Dish
This is a variation of a basic harvest rice dish recipe for the holidays.
Ingredients
-
½ cup slivered almonds
-
2 cups chicken broth
-
½ cup uncooked brown rice
-
½ cup uncooked wild rice
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
3 onions, sliced into ½-inch wedges
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 cup dried cranberries
-
⅔ cup fresh sliced mushrooms
-
½ teaspoon grated orange zest
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Description
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Place almonds on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven, 5 to 8 minutes; set aside.
-
Bring broth, brown rice, and wild rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and broth is absorbed, about 45 minutes.
-
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and brown sugar; sauté until butter is absorbed and onions are translucent and soft. Reduce heat; cook until onions are caramelized, 20 minutes more.
-
Stir cranberries and mushrooms into onions; cover. Cook until berries start to swell, about 10 minutes. Stir in almonds and orange zest; fold into cooked rice mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
