Orange-Kissed Brussels Sprouts

1 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
¼ tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Steam the Brussels sprouts in pot fitted with collapsible vegetable steamer and ½ inch water and tight fitting lid for 7 minutes or until tender.

Remove sprouts and place in warm serving bowl.  Add orange rind, orange juice, salt and pepper and toss to coat.

Note:  When you grate the orange rind, avoid the bitter-tasting white layer, or pith, just beneath the surface.  You want only the orange part.  You can use ¼ tsp. dry orange peel if desired.
