Sweet & Savory Citrus

CITRUS IS SOME OF THE MOST WIDELY AVAILABLE and approachable produce in the Louisiana repertoire. Lemons, oranges, and grapefruits are grocery store staples, and it’s not uncommon for Bayou State home cooks to use them all year long. But winter is actually peak citrus season, so as winter approaches, it’s the perfect time to let these refreshing fruits shine. From sweet oranges and sour lemons to tangy, tart grapefruits, the acidity and sweetness of citrus shines in recipes of all kinds. Gather up these fruits at their peak and whip up this starter, sip, entrée, and dessert that prove just how versatile and irresistible seasonal citrus can be.
