Despite the bit of cluelessness , there's validity to the "simple but good" thought. If the food is fabulous and fresh, minimal preparation is often better.
Take for instance these beauties...it is that time of the year again. Palisades peaches--they are enormous, juicy enough to require that you eat them over a sink, and sweeter than sugar.
These are the kind of peaches that have many a Denverite hopping in their car and making the 4 hour drive to the western slopes to grab a couple of boxes. It's a bit like a social status really..."Did you get your box of Palisades peaches this year yet?" Prepare to be shunned if you didn't. I would never be caught without my box when they come in season. Not while I have breaf in this body. Btw--it's way better if someone drives up to Palisades and gets them for you...I'm just saying is all.So with what is probably just my first shipment of peaches , I was eager to find a different way to eat them that didn't involve drenching another shirt. I turned to my boyfriend Tyler, and he did not disappoint.
Mr. Florence said throw some balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh rosemary in a bowl and toss peach halves in the mixture. Then just toss them on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side. I know it sounds odd, and I'm not even a rosemary kind of person--but these were phenomenal. That's exactly why I crush on Tyler.
One more time in case you didn't catch it the first time...phenomenal.
these must be tried...unfortunately all i can get my hands on around here are the weak gorcery store peaches.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredibly delicious way to eat peaches!! I heart Tyler too! There's a group of us food bloggers who cook his recipes with a round-up every Friday. The great thing about it is your not required to do it every week - miss a few and your still in the group. Here's the link if you'd like to check it out:

Oh these look so yummy!! As soon as I can get some decent peaches I'll be trying these for sure!!
ReplyDeleteWow, those peaches look like they can jump right off the screen onto a plate for me. Once again I am impressed by your choice of recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love grilled stone fruits and the rosemary adds such wonderful contrast with the sweetness! Beautiful photos!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a poor slob on the East Coast supposed to do if she can't get her hands on any Palisades peaches? Oh, we have peach farms close enough, no four hour drive required. But still, that photograph, putting a grocery store peach to shame...it makes me think I've been missing out all these years. However, I will trust you and your boyfriend and toss the nearest peaches I can find into some balsamic, olive oil and rosemary and see what comes of it!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I found you through TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.
Best,
