It is my understanding that the orange referred to in nearly all
medieval Islamic cookbooks -- from Baghdad to al-Andalus -- is the
bitter or Seville orange. If I recall correctly (I don't have the books
with me right now), it's usually the pulp or the juice the want, so the
pel alone might not be usable in the recipes. Still, you may want to
consult one of the several collections:
Medieval Cuisine of the Islamic World (Zaouali)
Medieval Islamic Cookery (Perry, Rodinson, et al.)
Annals of the Caliphs' Kitchens (Nasrallah)
Anonymous Andalusian Cookbook (Perry)
