I think I may of found my Summer staple, the dish that I could live on all Summer, its simple and versatile, has all my favourite foods in and is so delicious. This is one of those dishes that as soon as you have finished it, you want more! Its perfect for a brunch, side dish, starter and how I like to enjoy it the most, as a simple supper with a glass of crisp white wine.
I have packed Hubby & Olly of to Oxted Cinema to watch the Formula 1, a little treat for Hubby’s birthday and I have just made this dish for my lunch, it was also my supper last night, as you can see, I am truly addicted.
The combination of sweet nectarines with the coriander and chilli are out of this World, the goat’s cheese toast with fresh ground black pepper are the perfect accompaniment. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and as nectarines are in season right now, ripe and juicy in the shops, what could be a better way to enjoy them.
Buon appetito
Serves 4
Juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes
2 teaspoons clear honey
1 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
4 ripe nectarines
8 slices baguette
200g goat’s cheese (a log-shaped one)
handful of coriander leaves
Mix the lemon or lime juice, honey and chilli in a bowl with a little salt. Halve, stone and chop the nectarines, then them toss in the dressing.
Toast the baguette on both sides. Cut the goat’s cheese into 8 slices and top each toast with a slice, grind over some gorgeous fragrant black ground pepper.
Lift the nectarines into a serving bowl with a slotted spoon and stir through the coriander. Tip the dressing into a small jug and serve alongside the nectarines and goat’s cheese toasts.
Enjoy when ever you want, how your want and with a lovely glass of wine or bubbly.
