Thai Stuffed Spicy Oranges Ma Gur Recipes

ICE CREAM STUFFED ORANGES WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut off a slice, 2 inches from the stem end, of each orange. Using a grapefruit spoon, scoop out the pulp from the oranges, leaving the rinds intact to form shells. Reserve the orange segments to garnish or enjoy as a snack. Set the hollowed-out orange shells, and their caps in the refrigerator to chill. Spoon 1 cups softened vanilla ice cream, into orange halves. Drizzle 2 tablespoons store bought caramel.
• Note: Once stuffed, you may refreeze oranges until ready to serve. Top with caramel sauce just before serving. Caramel sauce may also be warmed in the microwave!
• Add crunch garnish - such as granola, and/or crushed heath bar topping

CHAI-POACHED PEARS WITH SPICY ORANGE SAUCE AND HOMEMADE GRANOLA

Steps:

• Mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, honey, juice and zest of 1 orange, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili flakes, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat for the sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and bring sauce to a very low simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 3/4 cup walnuts, 3/4 cup pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Heat a skillet over to medium-high heat and melt coconut oil. Chop remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and pecans. Add chopped nuts and oats to the hot oil. Toast, stirring frequently, for 1 minute. Add ground nut mixture and mix until combined. Allow to toast until sugar begins to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in honey and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and allow to cool in the skillet, mixing a couple times as it cools.
• Bring water to a boil in a large pot, add tea bags, remove from heat, cover, and brew tea for 8 minutes. Remove tea bags and discard. Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar into chai.
• Bring tea/water to a boil again over high heat, add pears, reduce heat, and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Gently rotate pears with a spoon (pears will be soft - you don't want to puncture the skin) and continue to simmer another 15 minutes. For a stronger spice flavor, leave pears soaking in the chai for an additional 10 to 15 minutes with the heat off.
• To serve, place a heaping spoonful of coconut yogurt into the hole of the pear. Top with granola and drizzle with orange sauce. Garnish with orange zest.

THAI ORANGE CHICKEN

• Cook and stir chicken in the hot olive oil until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Add carrot mixture, water, peanuts, orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, and red pepper flakes to chicken; stir to combine. Cover and simmer until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
• Remove about 1/4 cup sauce from the skillet; whisk in cornstarch until dissolved and sauce is smooth. Pour cornstarch mixture back into chicken and sauce; cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 more minutes.
