Jacques Pépin Makes a Grapefruit Flower

A grapefruit, you can use a vegetable peeler

to remove the skin as thin as possible away

with the least amount of pith.

And then, you will blanche this eventually.

Get it into a julienne.

(gentle classical music)

Getting into a julienne.

You want to blanche it, of course.

You have it.

And then to remove

the pill.

You want a thin knife.

You want to cut it around.

You're removing that.

(speaking foreign language)

Technique like this.

To remove all of the white piece.

Then you want to cut in between the segment.

The first segment this way.

The second one.

The second one, you go nick through the membrane

and twist your knife.

Make it go there.

This

You can use the juice.

Usually you would mix with maybe some jam

and

around your segment.

This one is not too good.

And you can put

the julienne, some time you would want to blanche it,

in the center of it

for the garnish.
