From Market Vegetarian,
Ross Dobson, Ryland Peters and Small, 2008.
There were some cheap nectarines at the local store so it
seemed a good time to try out this recipe that I had recently been looking at.
It was the season for this fruit and so it seemed to fit nicely into the
philosophy that is promoted in the cookbook, a philosophy which I frequently
overlook.
The recipe was such a simple one that it would be difficult
to go wrong with it. The crumble was made from pistachios and almonds which had
been processed roughly. These were mixed with butter and oatmeal. Flour and
sugar were added next and they were all rubbed together until they felt right.
The nectarines were cut open and the stones removed. The
ones I had had stones that resisted all effort to let go the fruit so I just
cut around them. The crumble was sprinkled over the fruit and it was cooked in
the oven for about 15 minutes.
It turned out to be a pleasant dessert though the nectarines
were not overly juicy and so it was oddly drier than I had expected. Enjoyable
but slightly disappointing.
