How To Slice Citrus Supremes
Citrus Supremes are basically citrus segments without any seeds, pith, or membrane. They make a great addition to an elegant salad, or as a garnish on any number of dishes.
To make your Citrus Supremes, begin by toping and tailing your citrus. In this demonstration I am using an orange, but any type of citrus will do. Stand your citrus up on your cutting board, and run your knife in-between the rind and the flesh.
Next, carefully run your knife in-between the flesh and membrane of each segment, using a controlled slicing motion to cut towards the center of the citrus. When done correctly, your segments should be 100% citrus flesh without any seeds, pith or membrane.
