ROASTED GRAPEFRUIT
In 2010, Sam Sifton, who was then The New York Times restaurant critic, made a list of the 15 best things he ate in New York City that year. For breakfast, he chose a dish from Pulino's in SoHo, which is now closed. This quick-cooked grapefruit is not so much a dish as a magic trick, the fruit covered with a caramel of muscovado sugar and mint that transforms it into ambrosia.

Steps:
- Cut the grapefruit in half and thoroughly loosen all sections with a knife. Dry the cut surface with a paper towel.
- Put the sugar in a 10-inch heavy skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan and swirl it into the sugar. Continue swirling until the sugar melts and darkens slightly, approximately 3 to 5 minutes; do not let it burn. Immediately add the grapefruit halves, cut sides down, and turn off the heat.
- Move the grapefruit in the pan to coat the surface. Using tongs or two spoons, transfer to serving dishes, cut sides up. Sprinkle with mint and serve immediately.
