Steps
Steps
- 1Cut the top and bottom off each orange, then cut away the peel and all the white pith, following the curve of the fruit. Slice into 5 mm rounds over a plate, pick out any pips and keep the juice.
- 2Slice the onion paper-thin and soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to soften its bite, then drain and pat dry.
- 3Arrange the orange slices overlapping on a platter and scatter over the onion and olives.
- 4Season with salt, pepper, oregano and chilli, then drizzle with the oil and the reserved juice.
- 5Leave for 10 minutes before serving, so the oranges release more juice and it mixes with the oil into a dressing.
