2 grapefruit16 large, peeled prawns1 Tbl olive oil1 clove garlic, crushedSea salt & freshly ground black pepper3 Tbl olive oil, extra4 Tbl grapefruit juice1/2 long red chilli, seeded &f inely chopped1 clove garlic, crushed, extra2 tsp honey1 tsp whole cumin seeds, toasted1/2 cup fregola1 small fennel bulb, very thinly sliced, fronds removed2 radishes, very thinly slicedHandful of rocket
Directions
Using a small sharp knife, peel the grapefruit, removing all the white pith. Holding the fruit over a bowl to catch any juice, cut between the membranes to release the fillets. Set these aside for the salad. Squeeze the juice from the remaining membranes for use in the dressing.

Whisk the extra olive oil, grapefruit juice, chilli, extra garlic, honey and toasted cumin together to make the dressing.

Cook the fregola in boiling salted water (or for extra flavour in stock) for 10 minutes or until just tender. Drain well and toss the hot fregola with the dressing. Set aside until you are ready to assemble.

Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and cook the prawns for 2 minutes each side or until just cooked through.

Add the grapefruit segments, fennel, radishes and rocket to the fregola and toss gently to combine. Pile the salad on plates and top each serve with prawns and scatter with reserved fennel fronds.

    What is fregola & rocket? I've been cooking since I was 10 years (now 79) and never heard of either. Also can I use oranges? I am not allowed to have grapefruit because of a blood condition. - 7/16/10

    Fregola is Israeli cous cous (it looks like tapioca) and rocket is also known as arugula. Grapefruit makes the dressing sharper but I think oranges would work.
