Brown and Wild Rice with Caramelized Onions and Cranberries

I make this every Thanksgiving and I just realized that I don't make this often enough. It really can go with anything all year round. Enjoy!

Brown and Wild Rice with Caramelized Onions and Cranberries

1 c wild rice
1 c brown rice
4 c veggie stock (or chicken stock)
3 medium onions (sliced in thin wedges)
1 bag dried craisins (about 1 cup)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 teaspoons brown sugar
Zest of 1 orange

Cook rice in the broth until tender according to rice directions.
Melt butter over medium heat and add onion wedges and brown sugar.
Cook 10 minutes then reduce to low for 30 minutes.
Stir in craisins, cover, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, until craisins swell.
Gently fold in the caramelized onions and orange zest into the cooked rice.
