Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole oranges
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons pistachios (unsalted, shelled, chopped)
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing all the white pith on the outside.
Using a sharp knife, cut the peeled oranges crosswise into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
Arrange the orange slices on a large serving platter or individual plates, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, orange blossom water, and honey until well combined.
Drizzle the cinnamon-honey mixture evenly over the orange slices, ensuring all the slices are lightly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the oranges for added texture and crunch.
If desired, garnish the dish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve immediately as a simple yet elegant dessert or let it chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.
