I think this just might be the best broccoli I have eaten! The flavour combination was perfect, with the tang of the mustard and zest, the sweetness of the honey and orange juice, and the crunch of the roasted nuts. Superb. I microwaved the broccoli pieces on a round glass dish, then drizzled the sauce over, and sprinkled the nuts on last. This goes into my "company" file. Many thanks for this great recipe.

YUM!!!! I love orange anything and this is fabulous! I cheated and cooked the broccoli right in the sauce. I think this would also be really good on cauliflower. Even my picky DH liked it! I'm always trying new ways to try and get him to eat his veggies, so this one is a keeper! I thought the addition of mustard (at first) was a little strange, but you can hardly taste it. Sorry, we ate it all before I had a chance to take a photo! :) Thanks for sharing.
