CINNAMON-GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Rinse the peaches and blot them dry with paper towels. Cut each peach in half and discard the pit. Then, cut each peach into quarters. Using a pointed chopstick or metal skewer, make a starter hole in the center of each peach quarter, working from the pit side to the skin side. Skewer 2 peach quarters on each cinnamon stick, placing a mint leaf between the 2 quarters.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Let the glaze boil until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
• Prepare and preheat the grill to high. Brush and oil the grate. Next, place the skewered peaches on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side, basting with the rum and butter glaze. Spoon any remaining glaze over the grilled peaches and serve at once. Peach or vanilla ice cream makes a great accompaniment.

CHICKEN KEBABS WITH NO-COOK PEACH CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the marinade: Place the chicken in a reseable plastic bag. Whizz up the oil, cilantro, lime juice, coriander, garam masala, serrano peppers and ginger in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour over the chicken cubes, massage into the meat, and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• For the chutney: Toss the peaches, ginger, honey, vinegar, chaat masala, if using, chile flakes, cilantro and lime juice and zest into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour into a serving bowl, setting aside 1/4 cup for basting the chicken.
• For grilling the chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread 4 to 5 chicken cubes onto two skewers at a time, lightly wiping off excess marinade with a paper towel. The cubes should be lightly touching, not tightly packed.
• Grill the skewers on one side until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and baste with the reserved chutney. Grill the other side until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, then flip and baste again. Grill to seal the chutney glaze, another 30 seconds per side, then remove from the heat. Sprinkle with salt and a little more chaat masala, then serve with big bowl of the chutney.
