    • Reviews

  • “This was a reallynice 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!”
