Ingredients

  • 1 grapefruit halved crosswise
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • To serve: coarse sea salt, mascarpone, pistachios

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut: Trim a bit of the peel off the bottom of each grapefruit half so that it sits upright. With a paring knife, gently loosen the segments of grapefruit and remove seeds,
  2. Dry: Place cut side down on a few layer of paper towels for 5 to 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  3. Torch: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar on each half. Use a kitchen torch to melt and lightly brown the sugar. While sugar is still hot, sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt.
  4. Serve: Let cool and then serve with a dollop of mascarpone and roughly chopped pistachios.
