Even works with Sugar Snap Peas
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I wanted to have green beans for our Thanksgiving dinner but they looked so yucky at the store. So I bought Sugar Snap Peas... instead. The light taste of the orange worked perfectly. I just reduced the cooking time on the peas a little from the beans so they still had a "snap". This is a great recipe! Thanks and YUIM-M-M-M-O. I'm glad I tried it out in advance to make sure it would work. I'm making it for our big dinner!Read more

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
