ASIAN SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over low heat brown ramen noodles, almonds, and sesame seeds with melted butter or margarine. Once browned, take off heat and cool.

• In a large bowl, combine shredded napa cabbage and chopped green onions. Add the noodle and soy sauce mixture. Toss to coat. Serve.

PEACHES WITH ZABAGLIONE

Steps:

• Make the zabaglione: In a double boiler or a bowl set over rapidly simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar together. Add Marsala and white wine and whisk well until mixture is warm and beginning to thicken, about 2 minutes.
• Continue to whisk vigorously as mixture increases in volume, until it is the consistency of lightly whipped cream, 2 minutes more. Take care that the eggs do not overcook and become curdled.
• Pour zabaglione into 4 to 6 wide-mouthed wineglasses or coupes and let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate. Peel peaches and cut into 1/2-inch wedges. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
• To serve, top each glass with sliced peaches, dividing them evenly. If desired, garnish with raspberries and drizzle with about a tablespoon of raspberry purée.

OATMEAL CRISP PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Stir together the oats, flour, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles a coarse crumble.
• Gently press the oat mixture onto the cut sides of each peach.
• Arrange the peaches in the baking dish. Bake until tender and the topping is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. Serve with ice cream and a drizzle of dulce de leche.

FRESH CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, oil, Dijon, sugar, and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In another bowl, toss the cabbage, carrot, red pepper, red onion, and chives together lightly.
• Drizzle the salad with the vinaigrette, and toss to coat.

PEACHES WITH BURRATA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Toss 2 peaches (cut into wedges) with 2 teaspoons white balsamic vinegar and a pinch each of sugar, salt and pepper. Let stand 10 minutes. Spread 1 1/2 cups baby arugula on a platter and top with the peaches. Top with a 4-ounce ball torn burrata and 2 ounces torn prosciutto. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with flaky salt, pepper, torn mint and chopped chives.

CARAMELISED PEACHES WITH FROZEN RASPBERRIES & MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Scatter the sugar over a plate, then dip the cut sides of the peach halves into the sugar. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the sugared peach halves, cut-side down, until caramelised. Transfer the peach halves to a plate and carefully add the schnapps to the pan, if using, or a splash of water. Cook the liquid until reduced and syrupy, then return the peach halves to the pan and baste in the syrup. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.
• Beat the mascarpone and icing sugar together, then fold in the thyme leaves and double cream.
• Divide the crumbled biscuits between two plates, then put one peach half on top of each bed of crumbs. Spoon the mascarpone cream onto the plates alongside the peach halves, then scatter over the frozen raspberries. Serve immediately while the raspberries are still frozen.

ASIAN CABBAGE SALAD WITH FRESH PEACHES AND WASABI PEAS

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, toss the cabbage, green onion, celery and carrot.
• In a non-reactive bowl combine the vinaigrette ingredients and whisk well. (Dressing can be made in advance.).
• Add the wasabi peas and sliced *peaches to the salad bowl. Toss carefully with the vinaigrette.
• *NOTE: Do not add the fruit or wasabi peas to the salad until just before serving.
• Servings are estimated.

GREEN PEPPERS AND PEACHES SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
• Wash, core and quarter the green peppers; spread the peppers out on a shallow roasting tray and sprinkle them with half the olive oil and the sugar. Season well and ensure that the pieces are well-coated.
• Roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes.
• Halfway through the cooking time, you will notice that the edges of some of the peppers have turned brown and acquired a crunchy edge. Give them another good mix in, so that they do not burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Remove the peppers from the oven and allow them to cool.
• Peel and pit the peaches with a sharp knife; slice them into chunky wedges; place them in a large salad bowl and mix them with the cooled green peppers.
• Toss the cumin seeds in a dry pan over a medium heat until they start popping. Do not let them turn brown as they will taste bitter.
• Crush the toasted cumin in a pestle, then mix it with the cayenne pepper and sprinkle the resulting coarse powder over the salad.
• Add the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice; stir all the ingredients well, check and - if necessary - adjust the seasoning, then serve.

PEACHES IN BRANDY

Steps:

• Prepare peaches (dip peaches into boiled water, then into ice-cold water--skins will slip off; then halve and twist to remove the pit).
• Make a syrup with the sugar & water in a large sauce-pan; stir mixture until it boils.
• To the boiling syrup, add peach halves and extract.
• When fruit is cooked (5-7 min), remove pan from heat, drain (reserve); cool fruits and spoon carefully into prepared jars.
• Half fill jars with reserved syrup, run a butter knife down the jar to remove air bubbles; fill jars to the top with BRANDY.
• Seal jars with lids, shake gently to mix syrup and brandy.
• Store in a cool dark place--use within six months.
• I've also added a pinch of cinnamon and cloves with VERY good results.

CARAMELIZED SWEET POTATOES AND PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degress F.
• In a bowl, whisk the coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon and salt. Put the potato and peaches in 2 separate bowls. Pour 3/4s of the syrup mixture over the sweet potato and 1/4 over the peaches and toss each. Spread the potato in an even layer in a large baking dish and roast for 10 minutes. Toss the potato and roast for 5 minutes more. Add the onion and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the potato and onion, add the peaches in an even layer, and roast 10 minutes, or until the potato and onion are fork tender and the peaches have caramelized.

GRILLED PEACHES WITH WHIPPED CREAM AND CARAMEL

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
• Arrange peach halves, cut side up, on baking sheet; sprinkle peaches with sugar,cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Let stand until sugar begins to soften, about 10 minutes.
• Place peaches on grill, sugared side down.
• Grill until tender and slightly charred, about 4 minutes per side.
• Transfer peach halves to plates.
• Using electric mixer, beat whipping cream in bowl until peaks form; fold in 1/4 cup warm caramel sauce just until streaks appear.
• Spoon caramel whipped cream alongside peaches.
• Serve, passing remaining caramel sauce.
