The outer peel, or zest has a very concentrated orange flavour. If using, remove from the pith carefully with a zester or grater.
Serving suggestion
Combine peeled sliced oranges with green skinned apple slices and lots of chopped mint and chives. Make a dressing of equal quantities of orange and lemon juice and little honey and ground black pepper whish in a little sesame oil to taste. Toss gently.
Add fresh orange juice to chicken stock while cooking giving a delicious tangy flavour.
