Hi Yolanda !

 

A question, please - do you not find that there is some bitterness by using

the orange rind vs. just the zest? I'm asking, so I don't forget to since I've

just read this posting, even before I try the recipe so that good information

can come from " the source " - namely you !

And also, if I may ask, do you not use any of the broccoli stalk at all -

peeled maybe?

Reply at your convenience and thanks.
