oranges

Orange and dark chocolate is a classic combination that I never get bored of. For these Five-Layered Chocolate Cups I wanted to go one step further than just sprinkling some orange peel on top of the chocolate. The result is a creamy, refreshing dessert. Serves: 4 | Preparation time: 20 mins...

Hello! Thank you for reading. I am planning to candy orange peel and pineapple to use in a fruit cake today. I'm going to use the same process for candying both of these fruits, but I'm hesitant to candy them in the same pot at the same time for fear the flavor would be affected. I'd very much...

Green bananas aren’t very sweet and are a good substitute for plantains which can be hard to source in the UK. They are sold as 'ripen at home' bananas in supermarkets. I cooked them separately to retain their shape and texture as there is a tendency for them to dissolve into sauces otherwise...

I used just two duck legs here but to be honest you could use four as there is more than enough sauce produced by the vegetables and fruit. If you use four duck legs then double up on the marinade ingredients. Serve this with new potatoes or mashed potatoes to mop up the sauce. Ingredients...

This should be served with typical Cuban sides, black beans and rice, yuca, Pan Cubano, tostones or maduros. Yuca is great with the mojo, yuca con mojo. This is one dish where a spicy chili is used. Ingredients For the classic sour orange mojo 6 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped 1 Scotch bonnet...

I borrowed the idea of orange with goat’s cheese from Chef Mario Batali who pairs goat’s cheese and orange zest in tortellini. I used home-made goat's cheese but of course you don't need to. Just choose a fairly mild goat's cheese. The poached celery adds a note of anise and some texture to this...

Despite all the steps, this comes together fairly easily. I'll have to try this again without the cornstarch to see if I miss it (it does provide some thickening, but 3 tablespoons is a small amount for this much food). Ingredients 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in 1-inch...

Ingredients: seabass potatoes organic orange bay salt pepper EVOO Method: Clean the sea bass by removing the entrails and scratching the scales with a knife. Peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces. Put everything together in a baking pan covered with baking paper, add the bay into...

A dear friend of many years who is an Extra Virgini Olive Oil producer of the gold award winning Bio Organic Evoo in Peloponnese, Evdominda, had given me this recipe a few years ago, and I have been re-organising my cookbooks via country and / or province / región to make my culinary projects...

Yummy! A greedy and delicious dessert made with chocolate, McVitie's biscuits, soft cheese and orange zest...

A sweet, salty and sour salad. I've been experimenting with dates and with blood oranges and so I have rather a lot of both to use up. And then there was the avocado in the fridge which had reached its peak. Now it has to be said, that I am not a fan of avocados , so this is a labour of love...

Blood oranges are in season at the moment and I bought some on a whim from Waitrose with no particular plan. I know we can just eat them as they are but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas for how to use them.

The limited season for these unique sour oranges is running out. Have you made marmalade this year? Or perhaps you have come up with another use for this special fruit. We would love to have your marmalade recipes or any other ideas you have for using Seville oranges.

This is a dish best made from leftover rice and chicken. For preference, the rice needs to be cooked in advance and left overnight. And if you have some leftover cooked chicken its a great way to use it too. But of course, you can cook this from scratch. Just allow a good period of cooling time...

Well in theory in it meant to be orange juice, but my OH came home with Orange, Mandarin and Grapefruit juice, so I had to make it with that! So I have taken the recipe directly from here (http://www.myfoodandhappiness.com/thyme-olive-oil-protein-spelt-bread/) - but I will say I will make...

Have you even heard of them? I hadn't until they arrived in the supermarket a couple of weeks ago and we decided to try them. They are the closest in sweetness and taste to the oranges and satsumas straight off the trees that we ate whilst in Greece and Turkey on our aborted world cycle tour...

This Mexican dish is traditionally made with Red Snapper, which is difficult to find here. You can use any firm fleshed fish instead. Here I used swordfish steaks. The dish has something in common with the Italian Puttanesca, which also combines capers, garlic, tomatoes and olives. There are...
