Grilled Peach Salad / Solata s pečenimi breskvami

Ahoooooy! OOOOOooo how beautiful it is to post something new! Thanks to all of you, that clicked on my blog during this time, even though it's been a loooong, long time since I posted anything new... maybe you hoped I posted something new or you might found something suitable in my previous posts ... either way I'm totally surprised that I kept all Google subscribers . . I would not be at all surprised if you all fled. . . . uuu naughty Neja she's not posting anymore! Despite the fact that I didn't write, I read other blogs. Blog obsession!

During this time of silence I wasn't cliff diving, hunting kangaroos, baking macarons, camping in the woods, talking all day in fake accent, having a picnic in a tree, making a funny YouTube video, dancing around bonfire on the beach, tattooed half of my ass, hithikching in Belgium and dranking a liter of beer all at once...no, I haven't done all that. . hmmm, it sounds like a great summer, which I would be always happy to remember and at the same time roll under the table while laughing hysterically, yes, because I like to do that, I like to roll under the table. . . laughing. Instead of all these crazy cool things I have passed all my exams (wooo-hooo, oh yeah, oh yeah, give me some!) and I'm currently in the middle of the traineeship. . . and I can not wait to start writing master's thesis! Well, not really, but I have to somehow motivate myself ;).

Who likes to cook in this heat? Me . . . .not really! Wanna try a little different salad? Sweet & sour? The next time you have a BBQ, throw some peaches on that grill next to those burgers;).

With Love, Neja

Ingredients

peaches, cut in half and pitted (one per person)

salt

2 large handfuls arugula, washed and dried

3 large handfuls lettuce, washed and dried

1 small red onion, slivered

5 oz. buffalo mozarella or other fresh mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces

4 Tbs. white balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. honey

2 tsp. dijon or whole grain mustard

2 Tbs. minced chives

1/3 c. olive oil

The process

Lightly salt the cut sides of the peaches, drizzle very lightly with olive oil and place cut side down on the grill (or pan). When the peaches are charred and just beginning to soften, remove them to a platter and set aside.

Make the dressing: place vinegar, honey, mustard and chives in a small bowl. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in olive oil until emulsified.

Toss arugula, lettuce and onion with vinaigrette and place on serving platter or dish. Nestle peaches and mozzarella amongst greens and drizzle with a little more dressing. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and serve.

Ahoooooj! UUU, kako lepo je spet objaviti zapis. Hvala vsem, ki ste kljub temu, da že doooolgo, dolgo nisem objavila ničesar novega, vseeno klikali...morda ste upali, da je kaj novega, morda ste med prejšnjimi objavami našli kaj ustreznega... kakorkoli, totalno presenečena sem, da sem ohranila vse Google spremljevalce. . .sploh se ne bi čudila, če bi kar vsi pobegnili . . . . uuu poredna Neja niiiič ne objavlja!! Kljub temu, da sama nisem pisala, sem brala druge bloge. Blog obsesija!

Med tem časom tišine nisem skakala s pečin, lovila kengurujev, pekla makronov, kampirala sredi gozda, cel dan govorila s fake naglasom, imela piknik na drevesu, naredila smešen YouTube video, plesala okoli ognja na plaži, si dala potetovirati pol riti, štopala v Belgiji in spila liter piva na eks, nič od tega nisem počela . . . hmmm, zveni pa kot super poletje, ki bi se ga vedno z veseljem spominjala in se zraven od smeha valjala pod mizo, ker to rada počnem, da, rada se valjam pod mizo . . . od smeha. Namesto vseh teh luštnih stvari, sem naredila vse izpite (wuuu-huuu) in trenutno sem sredi opravljanja prakse . . . in komaj čakam, da potem začnem pisati magistrsko nalogo!! No, niti ne, ampak moram se nekako motivirati ;).

Komu se da kuhati v tej vročini? Meni. . . niti ne! Ste za malo drugačno solato? Sladko & kislo? Naslednjič, ko boste imeli piknik, vrzite na žar poleg pleskavic še kakšno breskev ;).

Z ljubeznijo, Neja

Sestavine

breskve, izkoščičite in prerežite na polovice (ena breskev na osebo)

sol

rukola

berivka

1 mala rdeča čebula, narezana

150g buffalo mozarella ali druga mozzarella, raztrgana na grižljaj velike koščke

4 žlice balzamičnega kisa

2 žlički medu

2 žlički Dijon gorčice (ali navadne gorčice)

2 žlici mletega drobnjaka

50ml olivnega olja

Postopek

Rahlo posolimo odrezane robove breskev, pokapajte z olivnim oljem in jih z odrezano stranjo položite na žar ali ponev. Ko so zmehčane, jih položimo na krožnik.

Naredite preliv: v majhni skledi združite kis, med, gorčico in drobnjak. Dodajte olivno olje in dobro zmešajte vse sestavine.

Rukolo, berivko in čebulo pokapajte s prelivom, zmešajte ter položite na krožnik. Na vrhu položite breskve in mozzarello ter dodatno pokapajte s prelivom, potresite z morsko soljo in postrezite.
