This was a really nice twist on the usual broccoli. I think I may have let my juice reduce too much because it was a very thick sauce. I'll be more careful about that in the future. I also only used about 3 tbs. butter. -
This is really good! I did use only 4 TBSP butter instead of the 5oz. It was still sensational! The flavor of the orange, shallot, and butter were delicious together with the broccoli. Thanks for this great recipe! -
Great way to eat broccoli. Yes, it does take a bit more time, but I agree it IS worth the effort. Great side dish for guests/dinner parties or for any old day. We really enjoyed this and we will be having this again. Thanx for the recipe!
