I wanted something.....
Something with fruit in it....
Something with nuts in it.....
Something with greens in it.....
and I found this yummy recipe in "take a vine-ripened tomato..."
but this is what I actually made
Salted Almond and Hot Peach Salad
2 Tbsp light olive oil
1/4- 1/2 cup whole almonds
ground rock salt
1 tin sliced peaches
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 pack salad greens
1-2 Tbsp wine vinegar
Heat oil in frypan, toss almonds in pan until toasted, remove with slotted spoon, leaving remaining oil in pan. Drain on paper towels and season liberally with salt.
Drain peaches well, sprinkle with coriander.
Add extra oil to pan if required, add garlic and cook untill golden, add peaches and toss gently until heated, add vinegar and gently combine.
Toss peaches and almonds through salad greens and serve while still hot.
The original recipe called for blanched almonds, fresh peaches, and buttercrunch lettuce, but there was NO way I was going to walk all the way to the supermarket to get 3 ingredients!
But on the other hand it might have given me some justification to have something sweet for dessert ;)
