Broiled Grapefruit With Honey Vanilla Cardamom Recipes

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH HONEY, VANILLA & CARDAMOM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high.
• With a serrated knife, cut the grapefruit in even halves.
• Using a small paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut each section away from the surrounding membrane.
• Set the grapefruit halves in a shallow broiler-safe pan (such as an enameled baking dish or a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet).
• If necessary, trim a thin slice off their bottoms so they sit level.
• In small bowl, stir together the honey and the vanilla extract.
• Drizzle the honey mixture over the grapefruit halves.
• Dust each with a bit of cardamom.
• Broil until bubbling and lightly browned in spots, 4-6 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

MIXED GRAPEFRUIT WITH RICOTTA AND CARDAMOM HONEY

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, toast cardamom over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup water, then honey; stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Arrange grapefruit over ricotta, drizzle with cardamom honey, and sprinkle with black pepper.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH BROWN SUGAR AND FLAKY SALT

Steps:

• Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler, and turn it on.
• Halve the grapefruits through their equators. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
• Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler.
• Cut the grapefruits in half, and use a small serrated knife to cut out the sections in the halves. Spoon the sections and juice into a bowl, then scrape out all of the remaining thick skins and pulp. Spoon the sections from the bowl back into the halves. This is best done one half at a time.
• Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top of each grapefruit half, adjusting as you see fit. Dot with butter. Place the halves on a cookie sheet.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.

CARAMELIZED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from heat. With a paring knife, loosen grapefruit segments from membranes and pith.
• Sprinkle grapefruit with sugar and cinnamon. Broil on a baking sheet until tops are slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Top with yogurt, and garnish with more cinnamon.

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

• Broil the grapefruit until the brown sugar has melted and begun to bubble, 3 to 8 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before eating warm.
