Step 1: Making the Pistou
- 2 oranges, peeled, segmented and roughly chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/3 cup green olives (such as Mazanilla or PIcholine), pitted and coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp golden raisins
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To make the pistou, combine together the oranges, lemon juice, olives, garlic, parsley, raisins and olive oil. Gently toss to combine and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve this pistou with any number of dishes. It goes particularly well with ingredients such as cauliflower ‘steaks’.
