    Great Recipes

    A selection of Great Australian Recipes by renowned chef and television presenter Ian Parmenter. These recipes highlight the unique style of Australian Cooking.

    Grapefruit Dressing

    The grapefruit is one of our newer fruits. It has only been around for a couple of hundred years, originating in the West Indies and it is a cross between the orange and the pommelo, another large citrus fruit. My favourite variety is the ruby grapefruit, with its pink flesh, which was discovered in Texas in the late twenties. One of the few places in the world where ruby grapefruit grows is Carnarvon in Western Australia, about 900 kilometres north of Perth. It is no wonder it is in great demand. It has a beautiful sweet flavour as it is or grilled for 4 or 5 minutes. It doesn’t need added sugar. It’s also great in salads and in salad dressings. I have borrowed this recipe from another grapefruit lover, chef Brian Ferguson.
