  • zest of 1orange grated and reserved
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon orange-flower water
  • 1/4 cup shelled raw pistachios

Instructions

  1. Cut off about 1 inch from both ends of all 4 oranges; reserve the ends.
  2. Stand 1 orange cut-side down on a cutting board.
  3. Working from top to bottom, cut away the peel and pith.
  4. Cut the orange into 3 rounds, each about 3/4-inch-thick, transferring the rounds to a medium bowl as you work.
  5. Repeat with the remaining oranges.
  6. Refrigerate the slices until needed.
  7. Squeeze the juice from the reserved orange ends into a small saucepan.
  8. Add the orange zest, honey and any remaining juice from your cutting board, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  9. Boil, swirling the pot occasionally, until syrupy, about 6 minutes.
  10. Toward the end, the surface will be covered with big brownish bubbles.
  11. You should have about 1/4 cup of syrup.
  12. Let cool to room temperature, about 25 minutes.
  13. Meanwhile, heat a small skillet over medium heat, add the pistachios and cook, tossing frequently until fragrant and toasted, about 4 minutes.
  14. Let cool, then chop.
  15. Whisk together the yogurt, half the syrup and the orange-blossom water in a medium bowl.
  16. In each of 4 shallow bowls, layer 3 orange slices with 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture, beginning with an orange slice and ending with yogurt.
  17. Drizzle the remaining orange syrup over the tops, sprinkle with pistachios and serve.
