| 4 | White peaches, ripe |
| 100 g | Blue cheese |
| 150 g | Prosciutto |
| 1 handful | Rocket |
| 1 to drizzle | Vincotto |
| 1 to drizzle | Macadamia nut oil, or light olive oil |
Sweet & salty nuts
| 1 tbsp | Sea salt |
| 1 tbsp | Caster sugar |
| 2 tbsp | Water, boiling |
| 80 g | Macadamia nuts, halved |
Directions
- Cut each peach into 6 even pieces. Toss with a little oil and season lightly.
- Grill until charred and softened (the more ripe your peaches the less time they need to cook).
- Lay out the prosciutto on a plate, top with the grilled peaches and crumble over your blue cheese and toasted nuts (see below). Scatter over the rocket and a good few cracks of black pepper.
- Finish with a generous drizzle of vincotto and macadamia nut oil.
Sweet & Salty Nuts
A great way to roast nuts is to make a sugar and salt solution with the ingredients listed above; the nuts will be glossy and beautifully seasoned. Try adding chilli or spices and using them in other recipes.
- Dissolve sea salt and caster sugar in boiling water.
- Toss nuts in solution, drain off excess solution and transfer the nuts to a baking tray.
- Bake at 180degC, tossing nuts until golden.
