We really liked this dish. Very easy but next time I'll add the Broccoli a couple of minutes after the Cauliflower. It tended to fall apart - but still very tasty! Also I added a few red pepper flakes which added a little something extra to the dish.

Pretty darn good, and super easy! I used a wok and cooked the C&B in the water salt and clementine orange rind. When cooked, I drained the C&B and added some coconut oil, more salt, pepper, and juice from 4 clementines. I didn't have the scallions so i added a few tbsp of 'Rapunzel' brand powdered veggie broth that you can get at health food stores which added a lot of flavor.

Great Recipe. It only says Scented so it wasn't the strong taste of orange..I didnt boil as long so it had a little crunch. It was goo though.

As usual, Rachael comes up with a MARVELOUS idea. Rather than use any salt or fat (olive oil, which is healthy, I used my handy steamer (a great Black and Decker product. I zested one orange and put all of the peel in with the broccoli and cauliflower. Then I squeezed the juice of one orange over the veggies. The drip pan below the holder made for an "orange steam" which I cooked them for twenty minutes. Veggie perfection and super healthy. Really nice and I didn't miss the seasonings or oil.

I made this to go with some cornish game hens for Christmas Eve dinner and it was delicious. It is nice to have something that is easy and tasty...just enough hint of orange.

Excellent! Easy! Very delicate - not overwhelming - orange flavor. Enhances the flavor of the dish stars...broccoli and cauliflower! One recommended change >> back the b&c cook time off to 4 minutes for a more al dente crunch. Thanks Rachael!

This recipe is so simple, yet brilliant! I did it with just broccoli and my boyfriend and I loved it! It's easy and fairly quick to make, and the shallots give it such a depth of flavor. It's light and perfect. I served it with shrimp boiled in beer and Old Bay, with a side of seasoned fries, and it went perfectly.

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.

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.

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.
