davidphilliposterI had a few micro-planes in the gadget drawer in the kitchen, but using these on an orange produced almost no results for lots of work.
Here’s what did work:
I used the vegetable peeler that I use on cucumbers to remove the tasty outer skin of the orange, then chopped those orange skin pieces up fine with a paring knife.
I'm celebrating spring by making Rhubarb Crisp from The New York Times recipe. (If you get a paywall, try turning off Javascript and reloading.)
It's in the oven now. I'll add more to this post when it comes out.
I have no idea what rhubarb tastes like but it is supposed to be a spring vegetable treat.
Edit: 12/24/2023 I bought the zester that the NY Times recommended, and it actually works.
