Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 blood oranges
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Coarse salt
3 tablespoons cocoa nibs

Steps:

  • Cut top and bottom off 3 oranges to expose flesh. Stand each orange upright, and cut off peel (including pith) in vertical strips. Cut flesh into 1/4-inch rounds, reserving juice in a bowl. Juice remaining 2 oranges, adding enough juice to reserved juice to equal 1/2 cup.
  • Make the caramel sauce: Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring sugar and 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring until sugar is dissolved; continue cooking until mixture is dark amber in color, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, and slowly and carefully add butter, juice, and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth (you should have 3/4 cup sauce). Transfer pan to ice-water bath, and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Divide orange slices among 4 shallow bowls, and top with caramel sauce and cocoa nibs.
