Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Grapefruit
Cut the grapefruits in half and carefully scoop out the flesh, leaving the outer shell intact. Set aside.
Make the Pistachio Brittle
In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring. Allow the mixture to boil until it turns a golden amber color (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and quickly stir in the pistachios, rosewater, and salt.
Pour and Cool
Pour the pistachio mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread it out into an even layer. Let it cool completely until hardened, then break it into pieces.
Assemble the Dish
Fill each grapefruit shell with the reserved grapefruit flesh, then top with pieces of pistachio brittle and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
