Broccoli With Orange and Almonds

 

1 orange

1/4 cup slivered almonds

1 1/2 tbsps. butter or margarine

3 cups broccoli florets

1 tbsp. water

1/4 tsp. salt, or to taste

 

1. Grate the orange to yield 1/2 tsp orange rind. Using a sharp knife, cut

away all the white pith. Remove the orange segments from the membrane be

slicing between segment and membrane. (Reserve 1 tbs of the juice that falls

during this process.) Set aside the segments, juice and rind.

2. In a dry skillet over medium heat, stir the almonds until most are

lightly browned, about 2 minutes; remove from skillet and set aside.

3. In a large skillet, melt the butter or margarine over medium-high heat.

Add the broccoli; cook, stirring, just until it turns bright green, about 3

minutes. Add the water, orange juice, and rind; cook, stirring, until

combined. Add the orange segments, almonds, and salt. Cook, stirring, until

heated through.
