Ingredients

1 head broccoli, cut into florets (save those stems for soup!)
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets (think soup!)
1 navel orange, rind removed and reserved
Salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 orange, juiced
Pepper
2 scallions, sliced

Directions

Bring a couple inches of water to boil in a large skillet and add the florets, orange rind and salt. Cover and simmer until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain broccoli and cauliflower, remove rind and transfer to a platter or bowl. Return pan to heat, add extra-virgin olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broccoli and cauliflower and turn to coat. Squeeze the orange juice over the pan and toss veggies again. Season the orange scented broccoli and cauliflower with salt and pepper, to your taste. Garnish with sliced scallions.

Simple, but Fancy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I can't help but add my own twists to recipes since I love to cook. I made this to go with my orange marmalade glazed ham... and it was a great complimentary side dish. Not too much orange, but enough that it tied the meal together. I also used the frozen California Blend which has carrots in with the broccoli and califlower. They take on great flavor with the orange. Because the frozen blend cooks quicker, I had zested the orange rind in the water. This left some cooked bits of orange on the vegetables which looked great. I tried it with onions first, then made again with the shallots. Definitely use the shallots. They are milder, sweeter and blend better with the orange. With the EVOO, I also used some butter for added flavor. Great dish.Read more

It's OK
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly, ut I found that the orange flavoring wa so mild tat you culd barely taste it. I probably... won't make this again.Read more

Nice change from the routine
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is quite good -- a little sweet because of the orange juice, but a nice mix of flavors. I did not use nearly as much of... the veggies as called for, and it still turned out great. I found that using the shallots -- rather than a substitute -- was quite important because their unique taste was very important to the overall dish.Read more

Good, Easy Side
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made this for guests and liked it. Simple and good. I found that it made way too much, though, using a whole head of... cauliflower and a head of broccoli. I would if I cut back on both next time, the orange & shallot flavors would be a little more evident.Read more
