Sliced Oranges With Pomegranate Caramelized Walnuts

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Trim ends from oranges, and discard. Thinly slice the oranges crosswise. Discard seeds. Lay 5 slices of orange on each of 4 plates, and set aside.

2. Step 2

   Place walnuts in 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. After about 2½ minutes, they will begin to make popping sounds. Continue to cook, stirring and turning the nuts, until they are crisp and the edges are brown, about 2½ more minutes.

3. Step 3

   Sprinkle sugar evenly over nuts. Let sugar sit until it begins to melt, and then start to stir. Continue to cook, stirring, until sugar completely melts, turns a dark golden caramel color and coats the nuts, about 3½ minutes.

4. Step 4

   Stir in the pomegranate juice. Cook, stirring vigorously, for 30 seconds. Remove nuts from heat, and continue to stir for 1 or 2 minutes to cool. Divide the warm gooey nuts evenly over the oranges. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, and serve.
