Grilled Peach Crisps For 2 Recipes

GRILLED PEACH CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Stir together the flour, oats, pecans, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add half the vanilla bean seeds and all the cubed butter. Use your hands, a fork or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the dry mixture until it is evenly combined in small clumps and crumbles. Spread the mixture on the lined baking sheet and bake until the clumps are golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside until ready to use, or crumble and store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• Meanwhile, arrange the peaches cut-side up on a baking sheet or plate. Mix the remaining vanilla bean seeds with the olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the peaches with the mixture.
• Add the peaches cut-side down to the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the peaches are charred on the cut side, but not mush, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the peaches to a serving dish. Top with the crumble. Serve each peach with a scoop of ice cream and some extra crumble.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Right before cooking, slice the peaches along the seam and pit them. Coat them in oil for cooking, being sure to give them a thick, even coating. I prefer to toss them in a gallon size Ziplock bag along with the oil and gently rub the oil into the peach. This reduces mess, which is critical when you might be in the backyard, far from access to a sink. Don't use extra virgin olive oil, as the smoke point is lower and may cause the peaches to taste burnt and smoky. Grill the peaches skin side up for 5-6 minutes. When they begin to sizzle and shine, turn them over onto their skin and cook for another 6-7 minutes, or until they soften and lose a little bit of their shape. Serve immediately, with or without a garnish of whipped cream or ice cream. If you don't have room to eat all the peaches you've grilled, they can be reheated in the microwave for about 30 seconds, and they still taste great the second time around.

GRILLED PEACH CRISP FOIL PACKS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Cut four 12-inch square pieces of heavy-duty foil.
• Toss together the sugar, butter and salt in a small bowl.
• Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Stuff each half with some of the brown sugar-butter mixture.
• Put two peach halves, stuffed-side down, in the center of each piece of foil. Gather up the sides of the foil and crimp the edges tightly to make 4 purse-shaped packets.
• Put the packets on the grill, close the lid and cook for 15 minutes, changing the position of the packets on the grill about half way through. (You can remove and open the packets to check their progress at any time. Be careful of the steam.) Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
• Carefully open each packet (hot steam will escape) and use a spoon or fork to flip the peach halves over, they should be tender with a caramelized sauce. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of granola and a scoop of frozen yogurt if desired.

GRILLED PEACH AND PORK CRISP

Steps:

• Combine all of the marinade ingedients. Add the pork and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a saute pan, add the butter and melt. When the butter is melted, add the peaches and saute until the soften and begin to turn golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cornbread topping: Saute the shallot, garlic, and thyme in the butter just until translucent, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in the breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Peach glaze: In a saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a bubble, stirring. Cover and keep at a low heat, until ready to serve.
• Remove the pork from the marinade. Place on a hot grill, just to mark both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and place on a baking sheet. Cover with peach wedges and top with corn bread mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with garlic whipped potato, collard greens and peach glaze. Garnish with yukka chips and scallion oil.
