How to Supreme Citrus Fruits
Remove pith and membrane from oranges and grapefruits to get clean, jewel-like citrus segments.
What Is Supreming
Supreming means cutting citrus segments free of all pith and membrane, leaving only the pure fruit.
Step-by-Step
- 1Cut the top and bottom off the fruit so it sits flat.
- 2Following the curve, slice away the peel and white pith in strips.
- 3Hold the naked fruit over a bowl. Cut along each membrane to release the segment.
- 4Squeeze the leftover membrane over the bowl to catch juice.
Uses
- 1Citrus salads with fennel and arugula.
- 2Garnish for fish dishes.
- 3Topping for panna cotta and tarts.
- 4Fresh addition to grain bowls.
