I have been wanting to make this ever since you first posted it, but in all that time, I have only ever seen Seville oranges once - and had other commitments at that time. Do you have a limitless supply? Or what do you sub when you can't get them?

June, I get them at Fairway in season. I haven't seen them yet, though. But should be in fairly soon.

Oh, I saw in your profile you're somewhere in the NY area! I see some online sources; but only worthwhile I suppose if you have an additional use for them like marmalade, I suppose! I have tried to make it with regular oranges, but the Seville sour oranges have a special quality in that the zest is so fragrant. I do hope you get to try it, though. Are you in Manhattan?

This sounds fragrant and fantastic. I saw Seville oranges last time I was at my favorite grocery store. If they are there next time I go, I will pick some up to make this.

hla, I hope they're still available. This makes extra sauce, enough for 2 chickens (maybe more!)

creamtea, this is so interesting because there are some sibling similarities with my entry for Chicken Lorenza in this same Citrus contest. My onions are grated and applied separately from the citrus juice; yours are pureed together, w/ pulp. Mine sits for a long time; yours does not. I am def going to try your inspiring recipe, once i find those oranges, and i hope you will try mine. Perhaps we will alter our recipes; it would be fun to influence each other!
Come to think of it, I have a lime chili herb paste version of my Chicken Lorenza that I worked out, with bay leaves and chili flakes and thyme... maybe i'll enter it or email it to you just fyi! Thanks so much for this inspiring recipe!
