BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH HOT ORANGE SAUCE

This hot orange sauce is great over other cooked green vegetables, try it with broccoli, courgettes, beans or asparagus.

10 - 12 Brussels sprouts
1 Tbsp margarine
1 Tbsp grated orange rind
1⁄4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 Tbsp sugar
1⁄4 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
1⁄2 tsp cornflour

Cut a small cross in the base of each sprout. Boil for 5 - 10 minutes or until softened. Melt the margarine in a separate saucepan. Add all the remaining ingredients, blend well. Heat gently and stir frequently until thickened. Drain the Brussels sprouts and pour over the sauce.

Microwave:
Place the Brussels sprouts in a microwave proof dish, add 2 Tbsp water. Cover and cook on high power for 6 - 8 minutes. Cook the margarine on high power for 30 seconds. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on high power for 1 minute. Stir well.
