Blood Oranges

While blood oranges aka moro oranges are in season (mid January through mid April), Jeremy used the delicious flavors and color to add to his already tasty blackened tilapia.  He used fennel and blood oranges to make slaw.
Once you try the intense blood orange flavor you may even get a hint of fresh raspberry flavor.
In addition to being an artist in the kitchen, Jeremy uses his artistic side when plating his dinners.

Juicy Fact
All oranges contain carotene — that's what makes them orange. Moros get their red color from high concentrations of a pigment called anthocyanin, a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes the effects of free radicals. Free radicals are the agents believed to be responsible for cancer, aging and other health ailments.
