topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 4 grapefruits
  • 4 tangerines, squeeze out the juice (about 90 ml) and set aside the remainder
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt + more as needed
  • 0.5 cup raw macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 2 Meyer lemons, juiced
  • 60 g Dijon mustard
  • 30 ml soy sauce
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 3/4 tbsp. avocado oil
  • Arugula for serving
  • 2 cups pea tendrils
  • 0.5 cups calendula flowers

Preparation:

  1. Preheat a wood-burning oven or conventional oven to 190°C.
  2. Trim the top and bottom of the grapefruits, then trim the rind from the sides, leaving the grapefruits whole. Place in a large cast-iron skillet along with the juice and remaining mandarin oranges. Sprinkle the grapefruit with light brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool. Reserve the citrus juices.
  3. Meanwhile, toast the macadamia nuts in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove and chop with 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Cook the peas in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes, drain and let cool.
  5. Prepare the dressing:

    In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, citrus juice from the pan, mustard, soy sauce, and shallot. Stir gently, then slowly add the avocado oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  6. Place the arugula and warm grapefruit on a platter. Toss half the dressing with the peas. Sprinkle the grapefruit with the peas and nuts. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the pea tendrils, then arrange them on a platter. Sprinkle with calendula flowers.
