Well, I just love the little orange fruits, that's all. And I find that they are endlessly useful in a sort of Mediterrasian fusion cuisine. I have diced them into an Asian-inspired slaw; I slice them into green salads; and tonight I minced them into braised fennel. The bright sweet-yet-tart flavor was a perfect complement to the fennel.
If they had no seeds, I would be completely in love.
I tried a Greek garlic chicken recipe from the Globe tonight as well - less of a success, helas. Too much lemon (bitter); and the rest of the ingredients (garlic, onion, oregano, olives) didn't really add up to anything more than their individual flavors. No synergy: I hate that. Food must be more than the sum of its parts.
Still, the concept is intriguing. I'll have to work on it.
