Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Nectarines

  • 4 ripe nectarines
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch sea salt

For the Mascarpone

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese 250 g
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish

  • Crushed pistachios optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Nectarines

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Halve the nectarines and remove the pits.
  • Tip: Lightly brushing the cut sides with olive oil prevents them from sticking to the grill.

Grill the Nectarines

  • Place the nectarines cut-side down on the grill for 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden char.
  • Tip: Keep an eye on them to ensure grill marks without turning them into mush.

Make the Mascarpone Mixture

  • Whisk together the mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Tip: For added flavor boost, consider infusing the mascarpone with fresh lemon zest.

Assemble the Dish

  • Remove nectarines from the grill and place cut-side up on a serving platter.
  • Generously dollop the mascarpone mixture over the grilled halves.
  • Tip: A drizzle of honey over the mascarpone adds extra sweetness.
