Categories     Bon Appétit     Side     Beet     Fall     Grapefruit     Shallot     Roast     Rosemary     Winter

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds medium beets (any color), scrubbed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt
1 large grapefruit
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced into rings
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup rosemary leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss beets with 1/4 cup oil in a 13x9" baking dish; season with salt. Pour in water to barely cover bottom of pan. Cover tightly with foil (you want steam to build up in there) and roast beets until a paring knife slips easily through flesh, 60-75 minutes.
  • Let beets cool, then rub off skins with paper towels. Cut beets into irregular pieces (about 2") and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, remove two 2"-long strips of zest from grapefruit (try not to get any of the white pith) and thinly slice zest lengthwise into strips; set aside for serving.
  • Cut grapefruit in half and squeeze juice over beets. Add shallots and vinegar, season generously with salt, and toss to coat. Let sit 15 minutes to allow shallots to soften slightly.
  • Heat ¼ cup oil in a small skillet over medium. Add rosemary and cook, stirring often, until sizzling subsides, about 15 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels and let drain; season with salt.
  • Arrange beets on a platter; drizzle with more oil and top with fried rosemary and reserved grapefruit zest.
  • Do Ahead
  • Beets can be roasted 2 days ahead. Remove skins; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before cutting. Rosemary can be fried 3 hours ahead. Let sit at room temperature.

ROASTED GRAPEFRUIT



Roasted Grapefruit image

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.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, quick, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 grapefruit
1/3 cup muscovado sugar
2 teaspoons finely chopped mint

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.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy grapefruits: Look for grapefruits that are heavy for their size, with smooth, blemish-free skin. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you cut the grapefruits evenly and avoid tearing the flesh.
  • Roast the grapefruits at a high temperature: Roasting the grapefruits at a high temperature will help to caramelize the natural sugars and bring out their flavor.
  • Watch the grapefruits carefully: Grapefruits can roast quickly, so it's important to watch them carefully to avoid burning.
  • Serve the grapefruits immediately: Roasted grapefruits are best served immediately, while they are still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Roasted grapefruits are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The next time you're looking for a new and interesting way to enjoy grapefruit, give roasted grapefruits a try. You won't be disappointed!
