  Re: (...)

Has anyone made this yet? I was disappointed in using the broccolini. Very bitter and it spoiled what could have been a great tasting dish. Picked out all those pieces. Should have used Broccoli

Welcome to the forum golfingranny! I have not tried that recipe yet, but I may do it soon as we have quite a bit of prime rib left from New Years dinner. I have made sauteed broccolini before and do not recall it being bitter. Do you think you may have bought a bad bunch? Although since broccoli is less expensive, it might be a safer buy!

Welcome, golfingranny! This is good to know. I have this one marked because mandarin oranges are YS's favorite food!

Hi, golfingranny - we made this dish and it turned out very nice. The pork and plum was wonderful as well. I am with Cheftab on this - maybe it was a bad bunch of broccolini. Sorry it did not turn out well for you. They must have my issue wrong cause that is listed in my #79 one.

We made it last week and thought it was very good - and it went together quickly. I used broccolini and thought it was great. It is more bitter than broccoli, but the sauce was on the sweet side, so we thought it was fine. Also thought it was interesting to serve this over spinach instead of rice. Going to try the pork and plum stir fry sometime soon.

Help! I took my issue to the store to buy all of the ingredients and came home without my magazine & recipe. So I had to improvise. The broccolini from Trader Joes was very good and not bitter at all. Could some one please post this recipe for me? The Orange & Beef stir-fry was actually in issue #79 (Feb 2010). I am disappointed that even as a subscriber I can't access Cuisine at Home recipes online.

Hi Smokeandashes! Welcome to the boards. I hope you will stick around....so few do. Either way, I have this magazine. Give me a few minutes, and I'll be glad to type it up for you...if somebody else doesn't beat me to it.

Regarding access to the recipes online...I share your pain. There was once a beta testing opportunity that some of the members had access to, but that has since been shut down. We are all very put out about that! Your dilemma is a perfect example of how valuable that service was! We've been told there is something else in the works, but we're still waiting.

Now let me get on with that recipe!

Here you go!
