If you'd like a change of pace from stuffing, try this delightful wild rice side. It has flecks of red from dried cranberries and touch of sweetness. It goes great with a variety of meats and poultry, and I sure your guests will love it.Debra Keil, Owasso, Oklahoma Ingredients:
1 cup dried cranberries |
1 cup orange juice |
1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice mix |
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
1 medium tart apple, diced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
Directions:
1. In a 2-qt. microwave-safe dish, combine cranberries and orange juice. Cover and cook on high for 2 minutes; set aside. Meanwhile, prepare rice mix according to package directions.
2. In a large skillet, saute onions and brown sugar in butter for 5-6 minutes. Stir in apple and cinnamon. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 25-30 minutes or until onions are caramel in color, stirring occasionally.
3. Drain cranberries; discard juice. Stir in the rice, onion mixture and orange peel. Yield: 6 servings.
