Pink Grapefruit Fennel And Parmesan Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cut off top and bottom ends of grapefruit. Stand on 1 flat side. Starting at top of fruit, cut off all peel and white pith, following curve of fruit. Working over bowl, cut between membranes, releasing segments; squeeze any juice into bowl. Transfer segments to another bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover juice and segments separately and chill.
• Combine fennel and herbs in large bowl. Cut grapefruit segments into 1/3- to 1/2-inch cubes. Add to bowl with fennel and toss to coat. Arrange salad on platter. Drizzle lightly with oil, then grapefruit juice, if desired. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve.

Steps:

• Slice the fennel into thin shavings using a mandoline.
• Cut the bottom and top off the grapefruit. Cut the peel off the sides, following the curve of the grapefruit and being careful to cut away only the peel and bitter pith. Hold the fruit in one hand over a bowl and cut the flesh of the grapefruit away from the membrane to release a wedge. Repeat until all segments are released.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat and coat it with extra-virgin olive oil. Add the shaved fennel. Season with salt and saute until the fennel is warm and coated with the oil, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Toss in the grapefruit segments, grapefruit juice and olive slivers; sprinkle with the fennel fronds. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large pot, place the two grapefruit in just enough water to make them float freely.
• Bring to a boil, and let boil for two hours (add water from a kettle if too much boils away and the grapefruit touch the bottom).
• Drain the grapefruit, discard water and let fruit cool (or else you'll burn your hands!).
• Slice the grapefruit as finely as possible, and chop a bit. This is tedious, but not difficult. It doesn't have to be uniform.
• Chuck the grapefruit, sugars and lemon juice back into the pot, and dissolve the sugars on low heat.
• Bring to a boil and let bubble until you reach the jell point, about 15 minutes, give-or-take.
• If you like a smoother consistency, blitz in a blender for a bit until you like what you see.
• Ladle into clean, sterilized jars and process in a hot water bath for ten minutes.

Steps:

• In a salad bowl, combine the lemon juice with the salt and pepper and whisk in the olive oil.
• Using a sharp knife or the slicing attachment on a food processor, slice the fennel bulbs wafer-thin, cutting from the base to the tip to make fanlike slices. Place the fennel in the lemon vinaigrette and toss.
• Tear the radicchio leaves into bite-size pieces and toss with the fennel. Divide between 4 salad plates. Then, using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese into thin sheets, sprinkle on each plate and serve.
