Italian Orange Slices
December 10, 2020
Our friend Melanie taught us this method of making Italian Orange Slices. They are simple and yet are incredibly delicious. We happen to have an orange tree in our backyard that is bursting with fruit. You can also add sliced red onions, olives, oregano, or fresh basil, which is more like the Sicilian recipe.
- Prep: 10 mins
- Yields: 2 Servings
Directions
1Peel the oranges, carefully removing all the white membranes. The easiest way to do this is to use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Then, set it on one flat end and use the knife to slice down the orange, following the natural curve. Cut crosswise into thin slices and remove any seeds,
2Arrange slices around the perimeter of a serving dish, slightly overlapping. Alternatively, you can arrange slices on individual serving dishes (luncheon sized), using one orange per dish.
3Lightly drizzle orange slices with olive oil, and then lightly sprinkle with the ground black pepper.
4Serve immediately.

This really is greater than the sum of its parts–these three simple ingredients work so well together!

Absolute perfection. I served it to some Vegan friends and it was an easy, inexpensive home run!
