Pinch saffron

Pinch lemon or lime zest (or dried lemon or lime granules, crushed)

2 teaspoons Spectrum Naturals Grapeseed Oil

1 tablespoon water

Spectrum Naturals Grapeseed Spray Oil

1 (10-ounce) package Cascadian Farm frozen Organic California Blend Vegetables, thawed

1 tablespoon Cascadian Farm Frozen Organic Orange Juice Concentrate

⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Add the saffron, zest, grapeseed oil, and water to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 20 to 30 seconds, until the water just boils; stir. Cover and set aside to infuse at room temperature while the vegetables bake.

  • Treat an ovenproof casserole dish with the spray oil. Add the thawed vegetables. Spray a light coating of additional spray oil over the top of the vegetables. Cover and bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the cover and stir the vegetables. Spray with an additional coating of the spray oil. Bake for an additional 15 minutes.

  • During the last few minutes of the baking time, add the frozen orange juice concentrate to the saffron-oil mixture. Whisk to combine.

  • Remove the vegetables from the oven. Pour the saffron-orange vinaigrette over the vegetables and add the pepper; toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Concentrate on Your Cooking

You can substitute reduced fresh orange juice for the frozen fruit juice concentrate and water called for in the Vegetables in Warm Citrus Vinaigrette. Using a frozen fruit juice concentrate saves some time, however, because you can simply mix it for the strength you need.
