Fresh fruit has always been a staple in Greek cuisine, and most people think of watermelon as the most popular fruit of Greece. However, there are orange-producing regions of Greece, such as the Peloponnese and Western regions, where you will find oranges as the 'star'.
It just takes a couple of minutes to make this beautiful and healthy dessert, as you only need a couple of oranges, honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
To make Portokalia me Meli:
Remove orange rinds, and slice in any way you like.
I usually cut mine down the middle, cross-wise.
Feel free to use clementines or tangerines if you prefer.
Arrange on a plate.
Drizzle honey over the oranges (not too much as the oranges are already sweet).
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Some people like to add a little bit of chopped mint as well, but I prefer them without.
You can serve portokalia me meli in various ways:
- as a healthy snack
- with greek yogurt for breakfast
- as a beautiful addition to a green salad for lunch
- for dessert after a heavy meal

Enjoy!
