Ingredientes
- Cranberry Rice (from Liana Krissoff's Whole Grains for a New Generation)
- 8 ounces whole cranberries (I used frozen; no need to thaw)
- 1 orange, to give you
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (a microplane grater is perfect for this)
- thin zest strips for garnish
- 2-3 tablespoons honey (to balance the tartness of the cranberries)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups (thereabouts) cooked rice (I used brown)
- 1 teaspoon chopped dill
