Servings: persons

2 cups blood orange juice (reserve 3-4 tablespoons for the dressing)
2 teaspoons unflavoured gelatine powder
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups mixed green salad leaves
1/2 teaspoon (wholegrain) mustard
1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
50 - 100g crumbled feta cheese
Pinch of cayenne pepper (Optional)

1
Grease an 11 & 7 inch pan lightly with oil. In a bowl, whisk half of the orange juice with the gelatine till smooth and well combined. Set aside for five minutes to soften.
2
Then heat the sugar and water till dissolved and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for a couple of minutes.
3
Take off the heat and stir in the juice-gelatine mixture. Whisk/stir again well. Add the remaining half cup of juice and a pinch of cayenne, (if using). Whisk well to combine.Pour the mixture into the greased pan and refrigerate till set.
4
Make the salad dressing by combining the mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil and blood orange juice. Taste and season with some cayenne pepper, if you like.
5
Plating this per person is easier than serving in a large bowl. If you want to serve in a large bowl though, slice the gelee into small pieces and sprinkle them on the leaves. Then follow Step 7 and 8
6
Otherwise, using a round cookie cutter (3 inch diameter/smaller), cut out blood orange carpaccios and place one or two on each plate.
7
Place some salad on top of the 'carpaccio'. Sprinkle some chopped mint and crumbled feta on top. Drizzle some dressing over the salad but also spoon some unto the plate.
8
Garnish with wedges of blood orange and some whole mint leaves
