Broiled Grapefruit With Port Wine Food

SIMPLE BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place grapefruit halves, cut sides up, onto a baking sheet; sprinkle each with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar.
• 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.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH PORT WINE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cut grapefruit into halves.
• Trim a thin section of the uncut end of each half so the grapefruit can sit without wobbling.
• Section the grapefruit.
• Place grapefruit in a baking pan, sprinkle with wine, place pan about 2 inches from the broiler and broil about 5 minutes.
• Watch carefully to keep them from burning.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH TEXAS RUBY RED GRAPEFRUIT AND ROQUEFORT IN POMEGRANATE-PORT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the port, juices, and garlic in a nonreactive saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced to 1/3 cup. Put the shallots in a stainless bowl, strain the reduction over them, and cool. Add the egg yolk, port reduction, and red wine vinegar to a bowl and whisk to combine. Combine the safflower and walnut oils and drizzle into the yolk mixture, whisking to emulsify. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dress the romaine with the pomegranate-port vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Divide between 8 chilled plates. Divide the grapefruit segments between the salads. Sprinkle crumbled Roquefort, then walnuts, and finally pomegranate seeds on top of the salads. Serve immediately.

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.

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.

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 PINK GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Cut grapefruit in half; use a sharp knife to separate sections of grapefruit from the peel.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon. Remove 1/4 tsp. of the cinnamon mixture; sprinkle remaining cinnamon mixture over cut sides of grapefruit. Place, cut sides up, in broiler pan.
• Broil, 3 to 4 inches from heat, 3 to 4 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Top each with 2 Tbsp. of the whipped topping; sprinkle with the reserved cinnamon mixture.

BROILED SPICED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Cut around the edges where the fruit meets the peel of each grapefruit half to loosen the fruit. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg over each half and top with coconut sugar. Place grapefruit halves on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan.
• Broil in preheated oven until sugar is browned, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool at least a few minutes.
