GRILLED PEACHES WITH ARUGULA PESTO AND PROSCIUTTO
Steps:
- Combine the arugula, parsley, cheese, pine nuts, shallot and some salt and pepper in a food processor, and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and blend until emulsified. The mixture should be slightly loose; if it is stiff, add a splash of water and process briefly to combine.
- Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the cut sides of the peaches with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill cut-side down, covered, until charred, about 3 minutes. Flip over and continue grilling, covered, until soft, 3 or 4 minutes longer. Arrange the peaches cut-side up on a serving platter and drizzle with some olive oil. Spoon some pesto into the center of each peach half, then fold a piece of prosciutto and place it on the edge. Serve immediately.

- Sprinkle the warm peaches with the mint, and wrap a piece of prosciutto around each peach quarter. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar, and top with a few grinds of pepper.

Grilling peaches deepens their natural sweetness, and when they're paired with prosciutto and basil, it's an unbeatable flavor trifecta: sweet, smoky, salty. That said, grilled peaches also pair well with vanilla ice cream.
