    Excellent - Dish to impress.

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This recipe was very simple and delicious. And it looked beautiful on the table. I followed it to the tee, and it came out... Perfect. It had a great citrus flavor and by adding the salt after the cooking process, we seasoned to taste and did oversalt. It made a serving for three in my house, with only a little leftover ( that is how much we loved it!). The leftovers weren't enough for another side, so I warmed them up with a can of summer corn - Yum - O! Read more

    Tips to improve orange flavor

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I really like this recipe but I tweaked it a bit to increase the orange so it was a lighter dish on my family's thanksgiving... menu. First-I used mandarin oranges instead of regular ones (a bit harder to work with but they're sweeter which I think works better) Second- I used the whole orange. Zested the peel, then cooked the peel with the green beans and used the juice as the cooking liquid. Everyone liked it, and you can use as much or as little as you like. Also-don't expect the orange to be strong-it's an essence, with a great aftertaste which makes the dish very light.Read more

    Simple and tasty

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The one change I made was instead of using pieces of the orange peel, I grated the orange over the dish which gave it more of... the orange flavor. I made it as a side dish for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. Nice light and fresh side dish.Read more

    Not much orange flavor

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I followed the recipe precisely, but I didn't taste much orange flavor. Otherwise, it was pretty easy.
