Ramos Quinto da Ervamoira 10 Year Tawny Port
|
1
cup good-quality balsamic vinegar
2 Tablespoons sugar (or more, depending on the sweetness of
the peaches)
1 1/2 Tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
3 peaches, halved and pitted
2 1/2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces blue cheese of your choice, crumbled
In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar and pepper and
bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for
45 minutes to an hour, or until reduced in volume by about two-thirds
– until the glaze is thick enough to coat the back of a
spoon.
Rub the peach halves with olive oil and grill over medium to
medium-low fire until just slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
Brush the tops with the glaze and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes,
or until the glaze begins to caramelize.
Remove the peaches from the grill, brush on another layer of
glaze and cut into thick
slices. Place the slices on individual plates, crumble cheese
over them and serve.
