Broiled Grapefruit with Honey, Vanilla & Cardamom Recipe

4

Ingredients

2 large grapefruit
2 Tb. honey
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
seeds of 1 cardamom pod, ground in a mortar (or a pinch of ground cardamom)

Preparation

Step 1

Position an oven rack about 4" 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 enamel baking dish or a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet). If necessary, trim a thin slice off their bottoms so they sit level.

In a 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.
