ORANGE ZEST SAUCE



Orange Zest Sauce image

I have some recipes for sauces my girlfriend gave me about 25 years ago. They are delicious on chicken and they are so fast to make. I had asked her at the time for some sauces for chicken and she gave me a bunch of them. I haven't made them in a bit but I remember them being delicious. Just putting them here so I don't lose them. Great as a dipping or drizzled over or even basting ...your choice

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: Use organic oranges for the best flavor and to avoid pesticides. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep orange color.
  • Zest the oranges finely: Use a microplane or fine grater to zest the oranges. This will help the zest distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
  • Don't boil the sauce: Bring the sauce to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Boiling the sauce will cause the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to lose its flavor.
  • Taste the sauce before serving: Adjust the seasonings to your taste. You may want to add more orange juice, sugar, or butter.

Conclusion:

Orange zest sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for chicken, fish, pork, and vegetables. It can also be used as a glaze or marinade. With its bright citrus flavor, orange zest sauce is a surefire way to add some zest to your next meal.
