Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

Wash the orange² and pat it dry; cut the orange into segments about 2–3 cm.
Break the chocolate into pieces about 2–3 cm.
Arrange alternating orange² segments and chocolate pieces on a plate.
Serve immediately.

Tips

Why it works: Cut orange segments 2–3 cm thick so they fit neatly beside chocolate pieces without squashing. Use a sharp knife to avoid bruising the fruit.
Substitutions: Use 20g of dark cooking chocolate if you lack bars; swap orange for 150g clementines if easier to peel.
Common mistakes: Overripe orange will turn mushy. Check for soft spots or fermented smell before cutting.
Storing and reheating: Eat fresh; chocolate melts and orange dries within 2 hours at room temperature.
Serve with: Pair with a cup of strong black tea to balance the bitterness and acidity.
