Steamed Navel Orange
Ingredients:
1 navel orange
1/4 tsp sea salt to sprinkle on the orange
1/2 tsp sea salt to soak the orange in
Directions:
Soak the orange in water mixed with 1/2 tsp salt for 20 minutes.
Slice the top of the orange off, but do not discard.
Use a fork to puncture the orange so it releases steam when cooking
Sprinkle approximately 1/4 tsp of salt over the top of the orange, allow to dissolve.
Replace the top of the orange and place the orange into an empty bowl.
Steam for 25 minutes. (While this can be done in a microwave, it's recommended to use the stovetop)
Peel the orange (the skin will come off easily), eat the flesh and drink the juice that collects in the bowl. Serve warm and feel better soon!
