Broccoli with Orange Peel and Walnuts

This one is different...very Chinese take out inspired! But it is really yummy! Start with 1 TBSP soy sauce or Braggs and then salt from there. The salt in here is a slippery slope since it is also sweet. Serve with some garlicky rice and fortune cookies!

2 cups broccoli pieces (bite size)
1 orange; remove peel in one inch strips with a vegetable peeler, careful not to get pith
1 tablespoon veg. oil
1/4 - 1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 - 1/2 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
juice of the orange from which the peel was removed
1/2 tablespoon lemon pepper

Heat oil over medium heat in a 12 inch non-stick skillet. Add orange peel and nuts. Saute until peel just begins to turn golden on edges. DO NOT BURN! This will take only two to three minutes. Add broccoli and saute five minutes. While cooking broccoli, sprinkle mixture with the orange juice. After about four minutes, add soy sauce and lemon pepper. Stir well and serve either hot, warm, or chilled.
