La Zucca Magicas Orange And Olive Salad Recipes

ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Cut the peel and pith from the oranges, then divide into segments (reserving any juice) leaving them whole or chopped as preferred.
• In a bowl mix with olives with the orange segments and juice, add the lemon juice, cumin, chilli powder, sugar and salt.
• Serve chilled.

MOROCCAN ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a small heavy frying pan, add the cumin seeds and dry-fry until fragrant. Tip into a grinder and grind to a powder.
• Remove the zest from 1 of the oranges with a zester and set aside. Peel the oranges with a sharp knife, carefully removing all the pith. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, cut out the segments from the oranges and discard any seeds. Put the oranges and olives into the bowl.
• Whisk or shake together the oil, Harissa and roast cumin. Add salt to taste, then pour the dressing over the oranges and olives and toss together.
• Arrange the lettuce leaves in a serving bowl. Add the orange and olive mixture. Garnish with the reserved orange zest and dill sprigs and serve.

ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Grate the zest of 2 oranges. Mix it with the oil, vinegar and a bit of salt.
• Peel the remaining oranges, slice into thin disks (perpendicular to the segment seams) and spread out in a single layer on a large dish. Pour the dressing over them. Grind pepper until it covers them like a thin layer of sand. Leave for 2 hours or longer in a cool place.
• Separate the chicory or endive leaves, rinse and dry them. Tear them up, place in large salad bowl. Lift the oranges from the dressing and place atop the greens, breaking up the disks into quarters. Sprinkle the olives on top, then a bit of the dressing. Toss lightly, add more dressing to taste and serve immediately.

LA ZUCCA MAGICA'S ORANGE AND OLIVE SALAD

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine olives and thyme, if using, with a bit of olive oil. Pulse machine once or twice, then turn it on and add remaining olive oil rather quickly; you want this purée on the rough side. Thin with more olive oil if necessary. (You can refrigerate this for up to a month.)
• Layer 3 or 4 orange slices on each plate, drizzle with a little more olive oil, top with a tablespoon of olive purée and sprinkle with a few fennel seeds.
