Steps:

• In a small bowl of ice water, soak onion for 10 minutes; drain, blot dry, and return to bowl. Add peaches, honey, lemon juice, and cayenne; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes. If storing, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.

TOMATO, PEACH AND RED ONION SALSA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, gently toss together the diced tomatoes, peaches, red onion, minced herbs, jalapeno, vinegar and 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Add fine sea salt and pepper to taste. Let stand at room temperature while preparing the bread.
• Mix the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil with the garlic in a small bowl. Cut the bread into 16 to 24 1/2-inch slices. Brush one side of each slice with the garlic oil. (If a heat source is available, grill or toast the slices until golden brown on both sides.) Place the bread slices on a serving platter. Top each slice with sunflower sprouts, then with a generous spoonful of the salsa. Sprinkle each with a pinch of kosher salt. Serve immediately as an appetizer.

MINT & BASIL GRIDDLED PEACH SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the lime zest and juice, oil, mint and basil, then put half in a bowl with the peaches. Meanwhile, cook the quinoa following pack instructions.
• Cook the beans for 3-4 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, griddle the peaches for 1 min on each side. If you don't have a griddle pan, use a large non-stick frying pan with a drop of oil.
• Drain the quinoa and divide between shallow bowls. Toss the warm beans and onion in the remaining mint mixture and pile on top of the quinoa with the lettuce and rocket. Top with the avocado and peaches and scatter over the mint leaves. Serve while still warm.
