An intense peach flavour is achieved by grilling the peaches to carmelize the natural sugars. This is a wonderful salsa to serve with grilled chicken and corn on the cob. Ingredients:
1 large peach, halved |
2 plum tomatoes, halved |
2 jalapeno peppers |
1/2 sweet red pepper, halved |
1/2 small red onion, sliced |
1 green onion |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon fresh coriander, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar |
1 garlic clove, minced |
Directions:
1. In large bowl, gently toss together peach, tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, red pepper, red and green onions, oil and salt, keeping red onion slices intact.
2. Remove peach and place, cut side down, on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until lightly browned and caramelized, about 4 minutes. Transfer to cutting board.
3. Place jalapeños, red pepper and red onion on grill; close lid and grill for 3 minutes.
4. Add tomatoes and green onions; grill, covered, until onions are wilted and tomatoes are slightly charred, about 2 minutes.
5. Chop peach, jalapeños, red pepper, tomatoes and onions; place in large bowl.
6. Add coriander, vinegar and garlic; toss to combine.
7. Can be prepared ahead of time: cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. I prefer to serve this at room temperature.
