1

Wash the oranges well and remove the stalk from the top. Cut them into pieces keeping the peel but removing the seeds. Place them in the blender and mash them very well (whole, with the skin). If necessary, add a couple of tablespoons of water to help mashing.

2

Place a non-stick pan on medium to high heat, add oil and polenta and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, until it is slightly cooked. Add water, sugar and orange pulp and continue stirring until the water is completely absorbed.

3

Place it in a pan, spreading it well so that it is about 1.5 cm / 1/2 inch thick. Let it cool and cut it into cubes of about 2.5-3 cm/ 1 inch.

Prepare the syrup and pour it over. Place an almond in the centre of each piece. Let it rest (if we can of course) for at least 2 hours to absorb the syrup.
