Blood Orange Garibaldi Recipes

BLOOD ORANGE RECIPES: CITRUS SALAD & MORE!

Steps:

• Cut off the peel of the grapefruit and oranges: slice off the ends, then angle your knife and follow the curve to remove the peels (follow Steps 1 & 2 of How to Cut an Orange). Slice the citrus into rings.
• Thinly slice the shallot into thin rings.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and 1 pinch kosher salt. Then gradually whisk in the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time until creamy.
• Arrange the citrus and shallots on a platter or serving plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette. Top with torn mint leaves and fresh ground pepper. If desired, top with finely crushed pistachios.

GARIBALDI

Steps:

• Peel 5 of the oranges. Using an electric centrifugal juicer, juice the peeled oranges. Cut one orange into quarters and juice all of it, including the skin. The juicer should help produce a foamy, whipped texture. Alternatively, use 2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice (from about 6 navel oranges). Slice the remaining orange.
• Fill 6 Collins glasses with ice and evenly divide the Campari among them. Top each glass with the freshly squeezed orange juice and an orange slice.

BLOOD ORANGE LEMONADE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan heat sugar and water for about 5 minutes until all the sugar is dissolved and it becomes a syrup consistency. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Fill a pitcher with ice and pour in the juices, simple syrup and club soda. Slice the lemon and blood orange into rounds and place them in the pitcher. Stir and pour into glass with ice. Garnish with mint.

BLOOD ORANGE CAMPARI SPRITZ
