3 recipes for a menu totally orange!

You’ve heard about it in a previous blog post. It’s citrus season. We’ve just received our fantastic juicing oranges from Portugal. Actually, these oranges are navel oranges. They are as good to eat fresh as they are great for making freshly squeezed juice because these oranges are extremely juicy. If we make a comparison, an orange from Portugal contains twice as much juice as an American orange, for example. This explains their name.

So our mission this week was to collect the best orange recipes from our team members.

So here’s our top three.

Enjoy your meal.
