Ingredients
Directions
- Prick each of the oranges 20 times with the tip of a knife and place in a microwave-proof bowl. Cover with a plate and microwave on high for about 10 minutes or until very soft. Preheat the oven to 190c/fan 170c/gas 5. Line the base and sides of a 900g loaf tin with non-stick baking paper. Leave the oranges until they are cool enough to handle, then cut them into quarters and remove any seeds. Place the oranges and dates in a food processor, add the olive oil and eggs and blitz until thoroughly blended. Add the ground almonds, baking powder and 4 tablespoons water and blend again to a thick batter. Pour into the prepared tin, spreading to the sides. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool in the tin for 30 minutes, then turn out and cut into thin slices to serve. COOK’S TIPS If you don’t have a microwave, gently simmer the oranges in a loosely covered saucepan of water, without pricking, for 50-60 minutes instead. Top up with water when needed. After cooking, keep the loaf wrapped tightly in foil, or save extra slices in the freezer. You can warm them in the microwave before eating, if you like. 5:2 NON-FAST DAYS Serve thicker slices or top with a berry compote and dollops of crème fraîche.
