BABY BROCCOLI WITH ORANGE SAUCE
Steps:
- Cook broccoli in large pot of boiling, salted water till just tender (12 - 15 min); drain and transfer to serving bowl. In small skillet combine orange juice, shallots, vinegar, and pepper flakes; simmer over medium heat until reduced to ¼ cup, 3 - 4 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the broccoli; toss gently and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right oranges: Use navel or Valencia oranges for a sweeter flavor and less bitterness. If you only have regular oranges on hand, you can add a bit of sugar or honey to the sauce.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will lose its vibrant green color and nutrients.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the broccoli and chicken. If it is too thin, you can thicken it with a cornstarch slurry.
- Serve immediately: Orange chicken and broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Orange chicken and broccoli is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. With its sweet and savory sauce, tender chicken, and crisp broccoli, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
