My dad is a meat and three vegetable person and he finds this dish a little difficult to comprehend when it's on the table. "Oranges are sweet and should be served as a dessert, not as a salad" he reckons, but he's slowly starting to get his head around it. My cousin Michael has also been a bit of a meat and 3 vege type person, but when I visited Melbourne last, I made this dish and he loved it!!
This is a pretty simple and quick dish to serve. It's healthy AND is great with a BBQ. Of course you don't need to slice the oranges, you can segmet them and toss in a bowl if that's your preference, but I find it takes longer to prepare. I just want it done so we can enjoy a great meal together.
If you're not a fan of chilli, then reduce the amount used but try not to omit them completely as it's truly the star of the dish.
Ingredients
3-4 oranges - peeled, deseeded, pith removed and sliced (try to keep the juice)
1 fresh red chilli - deseeded and thinly sliced OR a dash of chilli flakes
A handful of chives
Dash of olive oil
Sea salt
Cracked pepper
Method
Get out a nice flat platter and lay the oranges in a single layer. Pour the juice from the oranges.
Sprinkle the chilli over the top of the oranges and sprinkle a dash of olive oil over the top.
Season with salt and pepper and then finish by slicing the chives all over the oranges using scissors.
Enjoy!!
Happy living peeps!!!
