Ingredients

  • ½ cup pâté
  • 1 batch toast points - 36 points
  • 1 orange
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • fresh parsley garnish

Instructions

To caramelize the oranges
    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the orange into 9 thick slices, and then carefully cut away the peel.
  2. Cut the slices into quarters and place on a heatproof surface.
  3. Sprinkle the segments with brown sugar and caramelise using one of the following options.
BLOW TORCH
  1. Melt the sugar carefully by moving the blow torch in circles over the sugar to avoid burning. Stop once a golden colour has been achieved.

BROILER
  1. Set the broiler to the highest setting and let it get very hot.
  2. Place your tray of orange slices on a tray under the broiler keeping them as close as you can to the heat source. Broil for 60-90 seconds until the sugar has melted and is golden brown.
  3. Remove from the broiler and allow to cool and the sugar to harden.
To assemble the dish
  1. Spread a teaspoon or so of pâté on each of the toast points.
  2. Add a segment of caramelized orange and a sprinkling of finely chopped parsley.
