Toast and Pâté with Caramelized Orange

Step 1

Cut the orange into 9 thick slices, and then carefully cut away the peel.

Step 2

Cut the slices into quarters and place on a heatproof surface.

Step 3

Sprinkle the segments with brown sugar and caramelise using one of the following options.

Step 4

Melt the sugar carefully by moving the blow torch in circles over the sugar to avoid burning. Stop once a golden colour has been achieved.

Step 5

Set aside to cool and allow the sugar to harden.

Step 6

Set the broiler to the highest setting and let it get very hot.

Step 7

Place your tray of orange slices on a tray under the broiler keeping them as close as you can to the heat source. Broil for 60-90 seconds until the sugar has melted and is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the broiler and allow to cool and the sugar to harden.

Step 9

Spread a teaspoon or so of pâté on each of the toast points.

Step 10

Add a segment of caramelized orange and a sprinkling of finely chopped parsley.
