"I love proper dances with zest."

Zesty Proper Contra

1. Take 1 dance cue card; make sure it is a proper one, as the improper ones won't be correct.

2. Sprinkle liberally with fresh grated zest. Grated ginger zest gives a nice zing, but for bright freshness use orange.  Grapefruit zest is not recommended.

3. Roast on one side (only) for approximately 8 minutes.

4. Test for completion by inserting long lines; if they come back cleanly, your zesty dance is done.  Enjoy!


Couldn't resist.
