DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Halve the melons lengthways and
scoop out all the seeds. Cut into wedges
and remove the skins, then cut across
into large bite-size pieces. Set aside
while you prepare the grapefruit.
|
|
|
|
2:
Using a small sharp knife, cut the
peel and pith from the grapefruit.
Holding the fruit over a bowl to catch
the juice, cut between the grapefruit
membranes to release the segments.
|
|
|
|
3:
Stir the orange juice and vermouth
into the reserved grapefruit juice. Arrange the melon pieces and
grapefruit segments on four individual
serving plates.
|
|
|
|
4:
Spoon over the dressing, then scatter
with the pomegranate seeds. Decorate
with mint sprigs before serving.
COOK'S TIP:
Handle the grapefruit segments gently,
they can break up easily and the
appearance of the dish will be spoiled.
