Portokalia me meli translates to oranges with honey. 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.

 2 seedless oranges
 honey; to drizzle
 cinnamon; to sprinkle
1

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.

2

Drizzle honey over the oranges (not too much as the oranges are already sweet).

3

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
