Number Of Ingredients 10

2 oranges
1/4 cup imported green olives, such as Provencal, pitted
1/2 small shallot, sliced into very thin rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 round loaf of country bread (about 1 pound and 10 inches in diameter)
8 very thin slices serrano ham (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Remove zest from a quarter of 1 orange, cut zest into very thin strips, and set aside.
  • Cut away peel and pith of oranges and separate segments, removing white membranes. Cut segments into 1/2-inch pieces, and place in a small bowl. Coarsely chop olives, and add to oranges. Add shallot, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
  • Cut bread into 4 wedges. Split 1 wedge crosswise with your hands (set remaining bread aside for another use), separating the top and bottom crusts. Tear each half into 4 chunks, and arrange on a serving plate. Place a slice of ham, folding or rolling it if necessary, on each piece of bread, and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the orange mixture on top. Sprinkle with zest, and serve.

I'm not a big fan of olives, but I loved them in this dish. They added a nice briny flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the oranges.
