Anyone Have Any Good Citrus Recipes?

[Shadowhunter]

I just realized citrus fruits are easily available around me right now and I'm feeling like doing some experimenting.


My standard recipes are:

homemade juice
lemon garlic chicken
orange/grapefruit rosemary chicken
lemon slices or wedges served or cooked with seafood
lemon tea
orange peel tea



How do you use citrus fruits in the kitchen?

Then?​

1. In a large bowl, combine apple, orange, and pineapple juices and frozen lemonade or limeade. Stir to combine thoroughly.​

2. Slowly stir in ginger ale and ice cubes. Garnish with citrus slices and mint. Serve immediately.

If you really want to add an island flair to this tasty beverage, add a dash of Angostura bitters.

CITRUS SMOOTHIE

• 1 orange
• 1 lemon
• 1 red grapefruit
• 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
• 1/2 cup ice cubes

Method:
Remove zest from orange and lemon; set aside. Cut a slice off from the top and bottom of the orange, lemon and grapefruit. One at a time, place them on a cutting board and remove all the peel and white pith with a knife, exposing the flesh. Chop the fruits and remove any seeds. Place the fruits into a blender and add half the orange and lemon zest and the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and pour into 2 glasses; sprinkle with the remaining zest.
