A tiny little side condiment served with grilled chicken or fish that can make any meal sing. It’s fine without any chile at all, but I like a touch.

This is a very fragile dish; make it at the last minute and serve it all at once. It will go fast, believe me.

Ingredients

  • 1 orange
  • 1 small grapefruit
  • 1 lemon
  • ½

Method

  1. Cut the orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all it’s juice. Remove the seeds and combine the flesh and juice in the bowl. Repeat with the grapefruit and lemon.
  2. Stir in the remaining ingredients, taste and adjust the seasoning, and serve.
