[Sca-cooks] Seville Oranges.....

[Elaine Koogler]

Hi Folks!
While shopping for the wedding that Dame Hauviette and I are catering 
this weekend (yes, I know...I live in MD and she in MI...she's flying 
into B'more this afternoon!), I found the most amazing thing at Shoppers 
Food Warehouse, our local really cheap place for groceries.  I have been 
looking for something other than regular oranges with an addition of 
lemon/grapefruit juiced to make it sour to use in recipes that call for 
Seville oranges.  To date, I hadn't been able to find anything.  
However, at SFW, I found a Goya product called Bitter Orange Marinade 
(/Naranja Agria/).  It has a bunch of ingredients, as these things do, 
but it also contains essence of Seville orange.  I haven't tried it yet, 
but thought I'd let the rest of you know that there is something out 
there other than trying to find the oranges themselves...they only show 
up rarely, when they are in season...and can only be found around here 
at gourmet shops and are horrificially expensive.  This wasn't too bad, 
and it came in two sizes...12 oz and a quart, I think.  I'll let  you 
guys know how it works...I'm going to try it in the grilled tuna recipe 
from de Nola, and will share my results and the redaction with you.
