HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Halve the oranges crosswise. Using a spoon or a small knife, carefully scoop out the pulp from each orange half, leaving the rind intact to form a cup. Reserve the orange pulp.

02

Finely chop the reserved orange pulp, removing any seeds or tough membranes. You should have about 1/4 cup of chopped pulp.

03

In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped dates, chopped walnuts, honey, orange blossom water, ground cinnamon, and the 1/4 cup of chopped orange pulp. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a cohesive mixture.

04

Evenly divide the date and walnut mixture among the four hollowed-out orange halves, mounding it slightly in the center.

05

Arrange the stuffed orange halves on a serving platter. Garnish each with a sprinkle of fresh chopped mint leaves before serving.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of elegance, chill the stuffed oranges for 15-20 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld and provides a refreshing coolness.

Easy Substitutions

Almonds or pistachios can be used instead of walnuts. If you don't have orange blossom water, a tiny pinch of orange zest can provide a similar aromatic note, though the flavor will be different.

Storage & Reheating
