Maple Vodka Peaches image

Steps:

Heat a grill pan over a medium-low heat. Pour in the olive oil.
Place the peaches cut-side up in the grill pan. Carefully pour 1 teaspoon vodka into each well and allow to cook on a gentle sizzling heat for 7 minutes; the vodka will heat and infuse into the peaches.
Spoon 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup into each well, allow to cook for 1 minute. Turn the peaches over, cut-side down, and allow them to cook through and the sauce to caramelize, about 7 minutes further.
Whilst the peaches are cooking, toast the pistachios in a small dry sauté pan over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until they start to brown a little, about 1 minute. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.
Serve the peaches on a platter. Spoon over any excess sauce, scatter with toasted pistachios and sprinkle with the tarragon. Serve with vegan vanilla ice cream on the side.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ripe peaches, halved, pit removed with teaspoon to make a well
8 teaspoons vodka
4 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves
Store-bought vegan vanilla ice cream, for serving

MAPLE GRILLED PEACHES (OR NECTARINES)

What a perfect dish for an outdoor dinner!! Using your grill won't heat up the kitchen, and grilled peaches taste absolutely divine! Choose freestone peaches, because they are easy to cut neatly into halves. From Canadian Living.
