1 week agoThe Reason Orange Juice Has Vitamin D - And Some Doesn't - Tasting Table
Orange juice contains no vitamin D naturally because vitamin D is fat-soluble and citrus juice is mostly water.
After everything sears up nicely, a layer of caramelized bits sticks to the pan, and if you add liquid while the surface is still hot, you can lift and dissolve those remnants, incorporating them into a nuanced, rich pan sauce. It also makes washing up much easier, which is reason enough. You've probably encountered this technique utilizing wine or broth, which are the traditional go-to deglazing liquids, but hear me out: try it with orange juice.
We previously spoke to Chef Saiba Haque, founder of Hot Source Magazine, about the creative ways to use orange juice, and she said orange juice was actually ideal for mellowing out hot sauces. This is because the acid in the juice binds to the capsaicin molecules in the peppers, taming that burning sensation many of us dread. It can also add a fresh and tangy flavor, which works well with a lot of dishes, like jalapeño chicken wings or sweet and spicy ribs.
Poached Salmon with Collard Green Salad, an easy way to add potassium and vitamin C at the family table, especially when paired with an 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice. If you've never tried poaching salmon at home, you might be surprised by just how easy and delicious it can be. I used to think it was a technique reserved for chefs, but once I gave it a try, it quickly became one of my favorite ways to cook salmon.
