Baked Nectarines With Greek Yogurt And Honey Recipes

ROASTED NECTARINES WITH LABNEH, HERBS, AND HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
• Place the nectarine halves cut side up on the prepared tray, then drizzle each with a little olive oil and season generously with pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges of the fruit are browned and the flesh is cooked through and tender. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
• Select a large platter and spread the labneh or strained Greek yogurt all over the surface, then arrange the roasted nectarines on top. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with a little salt and sprinkle over the toasted flaked almonds, followed by the oregano and pul biber. Drizzle all over with the honey and, finally, scatter over the mint ribbons. Take to the table to serve.

BAKED YOGURT WITH TROPICAL FRUIT COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the baked yogurt: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Whisk the sour cream, creme fraiche, condensed milk and vanilla seeds in a medium bowl. Divide the honey among six 4-ounce ovensafe glass ramekins or jelly jars. Divide the sour cream mixture evenly among the ramekins and bake until just set, about 20 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
• For the tropical fruit compote: Combine the pineapple, mango puree, dried mango, dried papaya, bananas, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla seeds in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until the juices are thick and the fruit is translucent, about 30 minutes. Cool until warm, 20 to 30 minutes.
• To serve: Top each baked yogurt with a heaping spoon of the tropical fruit compote and an edible flower and serve.
