Makes: serves 4
Time: 10 min + 10 min grilling
From: Peach

Ingredients

4 ripe but firm peaches or nectarines
2 tbsp runny honey
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
150 g mascarpone or Greek yoghurt
30 g chopped pistachios or almonds
1 pinch of salt

Method

Heat a griddle pan or barbecue to medium heat.
Halve the peaches along the groove and remove the stones. Throw the stones away: never eat the kernel. Brush the cut sides with oil.
Place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes, until they have grill marks.
Turn them over, drizzle honey into the hollows and scatter over the thyme leaves. Grill for another 3–4 minutes, until soft but not falling apart.
Loosen the mascarpone with a teaspoon of honey and a pinch of salt.
Serve the peaches warm with a spoonful of mascarpone and the chopped nuts.

Storing: Best eaten straight away. Leftovers keep for 1 day in the fridge.
