Prepared on the grill (in a grill basket) instead of boiling. Otherwise mostly followed the recipe. I accidentally forgot the orange juice but it tasted great even without. I added a little splash of champagne vinegar as a previous reviewer suggested. We used this as a side to a lamb dish that was also served with roasted potatoes wedges.
