Ingredients

  • 2 grapefruit, supremed (see below) and coarsely chopped
  • 2 tomatillos, husked and diced (1 cup)
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced ( 1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
  • 13 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 small jalapeno chiles, seeded and finely diced ( 1/4 cup)
  • 18- 1/4 tsp. hot Mexican chili powder

Method

  • Drain grapefruit supremes in mesh strainer.
  • Combine tomatillos, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, and jalapenos in bowl.
  • Gently fold in grapefruit, and season with salt, if desired.
  • Season with chili powder to taste.
  • One challenge in cooking with grapefruit is peeling away the thick pith beneath the skin and the bitter membrane that surrounds the pulp.
  • The solution is a culinary technique called supreming.
  • Heres how to do it:
  • Trim ends all the way to juicy flesh.
  • Stand fruit upright, and remove peel and pith with knife, following curve of fruit from top to bottom.
  • (A small, serrated paring knife works best.)
  • Holding fruit over a bowl, cut sections along membranes as if you were
  • slicing out a wedge, releasing them one by one.
  • Set supremes aside, and squeeze membrane skeleton over bowl to release any remaining juice.
