Burnt Honey Brûléed Grapefruit

Start with the burnt honey drizzle. Add honey to a medium saucepan and place over medium heat.  Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the honey darkens to a rich amber color and develops a deep, toasted aroma.

Remove from the heat and carefully stir in a small splash of water. Set aside to cool slightly.

Broil the Grapefruit by postioning an oven rack in the center of the oven and set the oven to Broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease a 12-inch oven-safe cast iron skillet.

Arrange the grapefruit halves cut-side up on the prepared pan. Drizzle each half with olive oil.

Place under the broiler for 5 to 10 minutes, watching closely to prevent over-browning. The grapefruit should be lightly caramelized and warmed through.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Assemble and serve by topping each grapefruit half with a dollop of whipped ricotta. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Finish with a drizzle of burnt honey and serve warm.
