Steps:
- For orange syrup:
- Combine sugar, 1 cup water, and orange peel strips in medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup comes to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 1 minute. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill syrup with peel strips.
- For almond macaroons:
- Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Draw two 12 x 4-inch rectangles, spacing 2 inches apart, on each of 2 sheets of parchment paper (4 rectangles total). Turn over each parchment sheet onto large rimmed baking sheet (rectangles will show through). Spray parchment with nonstick spray.
- Place slivered almonds, 1 cup sugar, and coarse salt in processor. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean halves. Blend until nuts are finely ground. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large bowl until soft peaks form. Add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold nut mixture into egg whites. Spread 1/4 of macaroon batter evenly within each rectangle, filling completely.
- Bake macaroon layers until golden and almost firm to touch in center, reversing sheets after 20 minutes, 35 to 40 minutes total. Cool on sheets.
- For frosting and compote:
- Place 10 tablespoons orange syrup in large saucepan and bring to simmer over medium-low heat (reserve remaining syrup). Add chocolate to saucepan and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Cool until frosting begins to thicken, stirring often, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Place 1 macaroon layer on long platter. Spread 1/2 cup frosting evenly over. Top with another macaroon layer. Spread 1/2 cup frosting evenly over. Repeat 1 more time. Top with last macaroon layer, flat side up. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of torte. Press sliced almonds onto sides of torte. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with foil tent; store at room temperature. Cover remaining syrup; chill.
- Thinly slice whole oranges crosswise into rounds. Cut slices into quarters and place in remaining reserved syrup for compote. Slice torte; place on plates. Spoon orange compote alongside.

ALMOND ORANGE MACAROONS
These are some of the most delicious cookies I have ever tasted. I like to peel the orange zest with my Microplane zester, which gives me a nice, powdery zest, but you can use a potato peeler and cut strips as well, since it will all get mixed up with the sugar in the food processor.

Steps:
- Place the oven rack in the lowest position possible in your oven.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the sugar, confectioners' sugar, orange zest and salt in the bowl of a food processor together with the steel knife.
- Grind the zest very find with the sugar.
- This will usually take 3 20-second whirls of the processor.
- Scrape the work bowl with a spatula in between whirls and stir up the sugar mixture.
- Scatter the diced almond paste evenly over the sugar mixture and give the processor about two more 10 seconds whirls.
- The texture should be like coarse meal.
- Again, scrape the work bowl in between whirls.
- Add the egg whites and mix with about two 5 second whirls.
- Don't forget to scrape the bowl at half-time.
- Remove the steel knife and set aside.
- Working directly from the food processor bowl, scoop up the dough in rounded 1/2 teaspoonfuls and drop onto the parchment lined baking sheets.
- Space the cookies about 2 inches apart, these babies really spread as they bake.
- Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, until lightly browned and crackly on top, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the cookies together with the parchment paper to a wire rack to cool.
- To remove the cooled cookies from the paper, loosen them carefully around the edges with a spatula, using short strokes.
- These are not brittle cookies, and you should get the hang of it soon enough.
- You can layer the macaroons between sheets of wax paper in an airtight Tupperware, and store them in a cool, dry spot.
