Salad of juicy Sicilian blood oranges dressed with rosemary and extra virgin olive oil, perfect as an appetiser or snack.

These Sicilian blood oranges are called ‘Tarocco’. Sicily, particularly the area around Etna Volcano, has the most optimal climate and soil for growing oranges.

Serves 2, Preparation time 10 mins + 20 mins resting

  • Sicilian Blood Orange, 2
  • EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Olive Oil, 3-4 tablespoons
  • A sprig of fresh Rosemary, chopped
  • Fine Salt and Ground Black Pepper, to taste

 

Method

Put 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt and black pepper and chopped rosemary in a bowl.

Peel the oranges by removing the white part, slice them into half-centimetre slices.

Place them on a plate, pour the dressing over them and leave the orange slices to stand for at least 20 minutes so that they absorb it.

Serve with another sprinkling of black pepper.
