Recipe: Broccoli with Orange Sauce

BROCCOLI WITH ORANGE SAUCE

"If you like oranges, you'll enjoy this citrusy sauce I adapted when looking for a more interesting way to serve broccoli. It's also nice as a dipping sauce for pork chops and chicken." - Estelle Hardin of Kanab, UT.

1 pound fresh or frozen broccoli spears
4 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/4 cup water
1/16 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 medium naval orange, thinly sliced

Place broccoli and a small amount of water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 5-8 minutes or until crisp tender.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and bouillon. Stir in water, orange juice and peel until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes until thickened.

Drain broccoli and place in a serving bowl. Garnish with orange slices and drizzle with sauce.
