I knew this particular day we were going to BBQ when my husband got home from work.
Having extra time to prepare the meal (marinate the chicken and vegetables)
that I would also have time to prepare a dessert.
I got my daughters involved and had them prepare something a little sweeter.
Everyone in the kitchen.
With fresh peaches in such abundance right now I used a few of those.
With a dash of ground cardamom and some fresh basil you are in for a real treat.
Recipe (so very simple ,great for entertaining)
Peaches and Basil (one peach per person)
- fresh peach/es washed
- cut in half , take pit out
- in foil piece place the peach
-sprinkle some ground cardamom (tiny springing , want as background flavor)
- a few washed basil leaves in between the two pieces
- put peach back together and wrap foil tightly around it
Place on low/medium grill heat for about 12 to 15 minutes)
Remove from heat
Packet and contents hot , careful to open packet
Hot ,Sweet, Tart ,Delicious and Healthy
Once that was wrapped up my girls and I opted for
chocolate banana melts as I like to call these packets.
Much more of a treat and super delicious.
Recipe (whole or half banana per person)
Chocolate Banana Melt
-cut off each end of banana(s) with sharp knife
-Using knife make slit down center of banana peel cutting also into banana
- chocolate of various natures
(either chocolate bar pieces/ chocolate chips which we used)
about tbsp per banana
- peanut butter (could omit if allergies ) or use other nut butter
(almond good also) Tbsp per banana approximately
- we cut a twix bar into pieces and placed that on top
To assemble -place cut banana on foil sheet piece
-open banana further with hand/fingers -place the nut butter if using
-add chocolate chip or otherwise pieces
-twix on top for added crunch and of course more chocolate
-tent the foil to hopefully keep chocolate from melting to much onto foil, wrap tightly to create seal
Place on low/medium grill heat for about 12 to 15 minutes)
Remove from heat
Packet and contents hot , careful to open packet
Family wanted ice cream with this, we had chocolate
but vanilla would also be yummy.
Ice cream scooped into bowl,
-scoop out desired banana melt amount
and there you have it.
Hot, sticky and ever so chocolaty.
Enjoy
