grilled peaches recipe - featured image

A simple and delicious summer treat featuring juicy grilled peaches paired with tangy labneh and crunchy pistachio dukkah, perfect for backyard barbecues or light desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe but firm peaches, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup labneh (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup pistachio dukkah (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or date syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Zest from 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the peaches. Cut them in half and remove the pits. Lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
  3. Place the peaches cut-side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden grill marks appear and peaches soften slightly.
  4. Flip the peaches and grill the skin side for another 2 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender but not mushy.
  5. If making your own pistachio dukkah, toast pistachios, sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Let cool and pulse in a food processor until coarsely ground. If using store-bought, stir to redistribute oils.
  6. Place grilled peaches on chilled plates, dollop 2-3 tablespoons of labneh on each, and sprinkle generously with pistachio dukkah.
  7. Add a pinch of sea salt and lemon zest for brightness.
  8. Drizzle honey or date syrup over the top if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best results. Brush peaches with olive oil to prevent sticking and encourage caramelization. If you don’t have a grill, a cast-iron skillet or oven roasting at 400°F for 10 minutes can be used. For a vegan version, substitute labneh with thick coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Make your own dukkah for better flavor by toasting nuts and spices.
