Dried orange peels just like in Provence! Get yourself a couple of oranges and follow the easy step below.

METHOD:

1- Scrub the orange clean and peel the outer skin with a knife or peeler. Try to avoid the white part.

2- Hang the peels and air dry for a couple of days, or until harden and curled.

3- Store in an airtight container.

WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR DRIED PEELS:

MEDITERRANEAN RECIPES: Add a piece of your dry orange peel into fish soup (like bouillabaisse) and tomato sauces for real mediterranean flavours.

FLAVOURED SUGAR: Keep a strip inside your sugar baking box to flavour it.

MARINADES: Finely chop a piece of your dried orange peel, mix it with olive oil, dried herbs and make a delicious marinade for chicken or fish.

FLAVOURED OLIVE OIL: Add a few strips into your olive oil. The peel with infuse and in just a week the flavours will start coming through. This is great for salad dressing and cooking.

FLAVOURED SALT: Grind the orange peel and mix it with mediterranean dried herbs (rosemary, thyme..) and salt.

Happy cooking!
