From À la Grecque,
Pam Talimanidis, Hardie Grant Books, 2009.
The summer fruits are coming in and I couldn’t wait to get
into some nectarines. They were still a little firm so a slow roast seemed the
best bet.
The fruit was cut in half, the
seed removed and it was placed in a 160°C oven for two hours.
In the meantime some yoghurt was
mixed with some cream, about equal quantities. This was placed in a flat bowl
and brown sugar sprinkled over it. It was then left in the fridge for four
hours.
This made a pleasant dessert. The
nectarines had softened up quite well and the yoghurt/cream with the brown
sugar, though a little on the grainy side, made a not-too-sweet sauce. There
was a little bit of mango in the fridge so this was added.
