I made these grilled peaches. They are OH SO good!
The recipe is adapted from a Jamie Oliver recipe from a magazine from a few years ago. Our local library has magazines of all sorts to borrow, so I have been taking advantage of that, I can't get enough of looking through food mags. This way I can do it for free!
The original recipe used a vanilla bean and a dash of brandy. You could use them if you have them. He suggested you serve them with crumbled biscotti and creme fraiche, which would be awesome. I think some toasted almond slivers would be nice too :)
Grilled peaches with rosemary
6 peaches, halved and stones removed
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/4 cup caster sugar
2 rosemary sprigs
Arrange the peaches in a baking dish, cut side up.
Mix the vanilla essence with the juice of an orange and pour over the peaches.
Scatter the zest and the sugar over. Lay the rosemary over the top.
Place the dish under a hot grill for 5-6 minutes or until fruit is golden and the juices are bubbling.
What an unusual flavour that must be? Interesting....
ReplyDeleteWow! What a striking combination. I would never have thought to add rosemary to anything other than a main.
ReplyDeleteThe original recipe had bay leaves. the rosemary was OK.
DeleteOh those peaches look so delicious! How lucky are you to have a tree full of them! Yum! :-)
ReplyDeleteThese look AMAZING! Oh so delicious... I love peaches. I wonder if cointreau might be a better accompaniment than brandy? I do miss having fruit trees♥
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I had some brandy! It was so delicious anyway with the whipped cream :)
DeleteWe have so much rosemary at the moment, I might need to purchase some peaches and try this recipe. Looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the rosemary with something sweet. Never tried that. Julie
ReplyDeleteYUMMY! I love peaches. I think adding the brandy would finish it off nicely. I do like that you served them with a dollop of ice cream.:)
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a dollop of whipped cream. Ice cream would work a treat too :)
DeleteOooh yum!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally loving your recipes - so easy and look de-lish!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing!!! I reckon my girls would absolutely love these (and so would I!).
ReplyDeleteYummo Alicia, you know I've probably done enough baking for a year last week! I bet hubby would appreciate if I actually MADE dessert isn't of handing around a packet of biscuits! xx
ReplyDeleteI hope they are tim tams! You do realise when the freezer stash runs out, they'll be expecting more of the same ;D
DeleteI don't think I would ever have thought to put peaches with rosemary, but it obviously works.
ReplyDeleteYes, delicious recipe! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I was one of those awesome people (aka you!) who loved to cook....growing up in a house with meat and 3 veg 7 nights a week, cooking is not really in my genes! (and when cooking for one, well that's just boring! lol)
ReplyDeletePeaches ... oh I am a little envious. These look delicious but the fact that they are home grown makes them sound even more delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! I've never tried grilled peaches but this looks like a recipe I would dare! So lucky you have them in abundance! x
ReplyDeleteI am bombarded with peaches from that one tree every year. Sometimes I feel like I am swimming in peaches. These were absolutely delish done like this, especially the sticky sauce at the bottom of the pan!
