- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion and celery, cooking until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Toast the rice: Stir in your rice, orange zest, thyme, and sage.
- Cook for 3 minutes to toast the grains and absorb the flavors.
- Simmer: Pour in the chicken stock and orange juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover with a tight lid and simmer for 45-50 minutes (or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender).
- Finish and fluff: Remove from the heat.
- Mix in the dried cranberries and toasted pecans, fluffing with a fork.
