This baked Orange Rice recipe is a genuine 1970s find, pulled straight from a vintage cookbook and given a few small tweaks to make it my own. Butter, onion, and celery build a savory base, while orange zest and juice add a bright, unexpected citrus twist you won't get from a standard rice side. It's simple enough for a weeknight but special enough for a holiday table, and it might just become the recipe everyone asks you for.
