Method

  1. To make the orange blossom cream, whisk the 1 tsp orange blossom water into the yogurt, then stir in the fresh mint, if using. Transfer to a bowl, cover with cling film and chill until needed.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut a slice from the top and bottom of each orange – thick enough to cut into the flesh of the orange. Stand each orange on one of its flat ends on a chopping board, then carefully cut away the skin and the pith, following the curve of the orange with the blade of the knife. Slice the fruit horizontally into discs, then pour the released juices into a small bowl.
  3. Arrange the orange slices on a large plate. Cut the pomegranate in half and, holding the cut side of the pomegranate over the oranges, bash with a rolling pin so the seeds tumble out.

  5. Mix the 2 tbsp orange blossom water (see tip) with the reserved orange juice, then drizzle over the top and scatter over the chopped pistachios. Serve with the bowl of orange blossom cream on the side so your guests can help themselves.
