grilled peaches08/01/2022

Peaches are an excellent choice for summertime grilling.

The abundance of natural sugar, when heated over a flame, cause the sugars within the peach to caramelize and the peach’s flesh to soften considerably. This process enhances the sweetness and makes the peach cut with a fork tender. Take your taste buds on an unforgettable flavor journey with our Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad recipe.

Grilled Peach and Burrata Salad

A perfect side for summer picnics and backyard BBQ.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallots
  • 3/4 teaspoon flake sea salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, more for brushing peaches
  • 5 oz. mixed baby greens
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup parsley
  • 8 oz. burrata
  • 4 pieces thin sliced prosciutto, torn into pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Directions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

 

Lightly brush peaches with a small amount of olive oil. Place the peaches cut side down on grill and cook for about 2 minutes, until slightly charred, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.

 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Once mixed, slowly whisk in 1/4 cup of olive oil to make a vinaigrette.

 

In a salad bowl, combine baby greens, basil and parsley. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over top and toss until well mixed.

 

Divide salad greens in half and transfer to two serving plates. Place half of the burrata onto each plate. Garnish with two slices of the grilled peaches, prosciutto and pistachios. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette and remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt over top and enjoy.

Let’s celebrate the sweet food holiday of National Cheesecake Day this Saturday, July 30th.

This may come as a surprise, the origins of cheesecake can be traced back to ancient Greece. This recipe used basic ingredients, like, cheese, honey and flour, and it was fed to the Greek athletes during the 776 B.C. Olympics. The main component, cream cheese, was accidentally invented by William Lawrence in 1872, while he was attempting to replicate the recipe for a French cheese called Neufchantel. Over time the popularity of cream cheese grew, and during the early 1900’s, Arnold Reuben began testing recipes and eventually created the New York Cheesecake recipe we know and love today. Join us in celebrating this rich and creamy dessert this Saturday! Try our delectable cheesecake recipes, you may find a new favorite!

Did you know that this Sunday, July 24th, is National Tequila Day?

Grab a few limes, a saltshaker and some glasses, it’s time to celebrate! Tequila has been around since the 16th century, beginning as fermented mezcal wine. Spanish conquistadors introduced copper stills to the process and distilled the mezcal wine into tequila. There’s a saying, all tequila is mezcal but not all mezcal but not all mezcal is tequila. While many succulent plants are able to produce mezcal, only the Blue Agave produces the right nectar to make tequila. Mix up a pitcher of homemade margaritas to celebrate National Tequila Day. Check out our margarita collection to fine the classic recipe and maybe a new favorite.
