September, grilled peaches & burrata

September and October, my two favourite months. The months of in-between. Warm, yet on the edge of being chilly. Sunny, yet with sprinkles of rain. Light, yet dark. Hopeful, yet melancholic. A new start, yet coming to an end. So we fill it with rich stews and grilled peaches; red wine and light beers; walks in the sun and books in front of the fire; thick sweaters and bare-legged – all the in-betweens.

The other day, when both Patrick and I had a free Saturday off, we headed to the market, discovering nature’s seasonal offerings, tasting honey and dried sausages, buying peaches and burrata. Colours, smells, music, atmosphere – it’s the best way to buy food. I got some amazing peaches that I wanted to try some recipes that I’ve been thinking about for some time: peach carpaccio and grilled peaches with burrata, and I thought I’d share the recipe.

Grilles peaches, buratta, thai basil & nut crumb

Ingredients

Serves 4

- - - A handful of pistachios & hazelnuts
    - Homemade croutons – one day old bread
    - 1 piece of garlic (crushed with the edge of the knife)
    - 25g Thai Basil
    - 2 Tbsp Honey
    - 6 Peaches
    - 1 Burrata
    - Salt
    - Olive oil (I always use Gridelli)

Roughly chop the nuts and toast them in a pan with no oil until nice and golden, set to the side to cool.

Tear some of the 1-day old bread apart and toast it in a pan with oil, salt and crushed garlic until golden, set to the side.

Lightly oil a griddle pan. While you are waiting for the pan to get hot, halve your peaches, deseed and cut into thicker slices.

Griddle the peach slices until nice marks appear, turn halfway. You can use a heavy pan or baking tray as a weight on top of the peaches to encourage the marks. When all the peach slices are griddled, put to the side on your serving plate.

Layer the peaches with some of the homemade garlic croutons, then place the burrata on top, drizzle olive oil and sprinkle over the nut crumb and the Thai basil.

Enjoy!
