Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large oranges preferably blood or navel oranges
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for caramelizing oranges
  • 200 grams smoked meats such as smoked turkey slices or cured sausages
  • 1 cup pickles preferably crunchy dill or sour pickles
  • 1 handful fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme or dill, chopped

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large skillet
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the oranges into ¼-inch rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are caramelized and fragrant.
  2. Meanwhile, slice the smoked meats into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  3. Chop the pickles into small, crunchy pieces. Mix the fresh herbs into the chopped pickles for additional flavor.
  4. Once the oranges are roasted and slightly cooled, arrange the caramelized slices on a large serving platter, overlapping them slightly for visual appeal.
  5. Layer the smoked meats over the oranges, spreading them evenly across the platter.
  6. Scatter the crunchy pickles and herbed herbs over the meats and oranges for a burst of freshness and texture.
  7. Finally, garnish the entire platter with additional fresh herbs and serve immediately, allowing the flavors to mingle.
