Sweet And Sour Orange Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine water, brown sugar, vinegar, orange zest, soy sauce, ginger, cayenne pepper, sriracha sauce, white pepper, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir sauce until sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove 1/2 cup of sauce and combine with cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until well blended and orange zest starts to dissolve.
• Raise heat under the saucepan and bring the sauce to a slow boil, about 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Stir occasionally until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a bit, about 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Put chicken, juice, Splenda, soy sauce, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a zip-lock bag, seal, and shake to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Measure 2 tablespoons of marinade into a small saucepan and set aside. Grill or broil the chicken thighs for 4-5 minutes per side, until juices run clear. Transfer the chicken to a serving plate and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
• Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl until the cornstarch is dissolved. Add the orange marmalade and rice vinegar to the marinade in the small saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until mixture is boiling. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 minute. Add the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and serve the sauce drizzled over the chicken thighs.

Steps:

• For the sour orange sauce: Put the orange juice in a small nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat and cook until thickened and reduced to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in the honey and transfer to a bowl. Whisk in the lime juice, vinegar and season with salt and pepper and more honey if needed.
• For the relish: Combine the olives, peppers, shallots, jalapeno, oil, vinegar, parsley and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the grouper: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle both fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 grouper fillet in the center of each piece of parchment paper. Top each fillet with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon wine. Fold the edges together, and then tightly fold in the edges, crimping around all sides to seal the packets completely. Place the packets on a baking sheet or in a large oven-proof saute pan. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
• Place each packet on a dinner plate and let sit for 2 minutes. Then open the parchment and drizzle with some of the sour orange sauce and top with some of the martini relish. Garnish with parsley leaves.
