Oh, I have. And I always add some zest when I'm using lemon to enhance the flavor.

You'll probably think I'm weird but I get better balance adding ingredients individually.


I've been experimenting with blood orange infused olive oil, it's quite good. So far I've sauteed and/or roasted veggies with it and have brushed it on some chicken with a bit of orange zest and a squeeze of the orange juice.
