Grilled Cinnamon Oranges (Only 71 calories per portion) 10 min cooking time

Ingredients:

1 fresh orange

2-3 teaspoon brown sugar

Half teaspoon cinnamon

Strawberry & 20 ml Cointreau liquor optional

Preheat the grill to high. Cut the orange in half and discard any pips. Carefully cut flesh away from the skin by cutting around the edge of the fruit. Cut across the segments to loosen the flesh into bite-sized pieces that will spoon out easily.

Mix the cinnamon with the sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the orange halves.

Cook under the preheated grill for 5 -7 minutes, or until the sugar has caramelized and golden and bubbling.

Serve immediately, or…

Or for some impressive visual effects you can flambe the orange with 15-20ml of Cointreau liquor. This will give an extra hint of citrus to enjoy.

This simple dessert works any time of the year, but its flavours will be the best and brightest in the winter when oranges are at their peak.

Tip: Letting the salted tomatoes and cucumbers sit for awhile before adding any oil is essential to a good Greek salad. The natural acidic juices from the tomato combine with the olive oil to make a delicious dressing, with no need for vinegar or lemon juice. Crusty bread is also a must so you can mop up every last bit of juice!

A fresh and colourful salad that's great with grilled meats, or on its own as a main.
