Sun-Kissed Peach, White Yoghurt & EVOO
COOK.’s current early-fall obsession: sun-kissed peach, cool white yoghurt, crushed almonds and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Some snacks are so simple they barely need a recipe.
A ripe peach still carrying the sweetness of summer. Cool, creamy white yoghurt. A little crunch from the almonds. And that final golden drizzle of extra virgin olive oil that brings everything together.
Fresh, creamy, fruity and slightly unexpected — a simple Mediterranean-style snack for a mid-morning or afternoon pause.
Ingredients — serves 1
- ½ ripe peach
- 3 heaped tablespoons white yoghurt (unsugared)
- 1 tablespoon crushed almonds
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
- Spoon the white yoghurt into a small bowl.
- Slice the peach into wedges and arrange over or alongside the yoghurt.
- Sprinkle with crushed almonds.
- Finish with a gentle drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
COOK. note
The extra virgin olive oil is not an afterthought here.
It brings depth to the sweetness of the peach, softens the freshness of the yoghurt and ties the almonds into the whole composition.
Choose a good extra virgin olive oil with a delicate or medium fruitiness: present enough to be noticed, gentle enough to let the peach remain the star.
Simple enough for yourself, beautiful enough to share. Enjoy!
