Bursting with orange flavor & done in 15 minutes!
What makes a great side dish? It needs to be packed with flavor, nutrients and pleasing to the eye. Oh, and quick too please! Our Sunny Carrots and Wilted Arugula fits the bill.
We took carrot discs, sautéed them in butter to brown them slightly. Then steamed them in orange juice until they were firm and tender. Orange zest and peppery arugula amp up the flavor even more.
The result is a veggie side dish that bursts with color and is ready in less than 15 minutes.
We suggest serving it with our Crispy Roasted Chicken or our Sizzling Skillet Venison.
