Makes 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 grapefruit

1 large shallot, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely grated

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more

1/2 small preserved lemon, flesh discarded, peel finely chopped

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons finely grated peeled ginger

2 teaspoons harissa paste

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon tomato paste

Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1
Using a sharp knife, cut all peel and white pith from grapefruit; discard. Working over a medium bowl, cut between membranes to release segments into bowl. Squeeze in juice from membranes as needed to make 2 tablespoons juice; discard membranes and reserve any extra juice for another use. Coarsely chop segments; return to bowl.
Step 2
Combine shallot, garlic, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes (this will mellow shallot and garlic). Mix in grapefruit, preserved lemon peel, cilantro, oil, ginger, harissa, cumin, honey, and tomato paste; season with salt and pepper.
