Ingredients
4 ripe peaches, cut in half top to bottom
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp toasted walnuts
1 tbsp light brown sugar or white sugar
3/4 cup Ricotta cheese
4 ripe peaches, cut in half top to bottom
juice of 1/2 lemon
3 tbsp toasted walnuts
1 tbsp light brown sugar or white sugar
3/4 cup Ricotta cheese
Steps
- Place the chopped walnuts on a cookie sheet in a 300° F oven to toast. Stir once. Remove after about 4 or 5 minutes. Don't skip this step - it brings out the aroma and the nutty flavor in the walnuts. Let cool.
- Leave peels on the peaches and cut in half from top to bottom. Remove pits. Lightly brush peaches with lemon juice to keep them from turning brown.
- In a small bowl, stir together the Ricotta cheese, sugar, and walnuts.
- Spoon the Ricotta mixture into the middle of each peach half. Garnish with a basil leaf or a few more chopped walnuts.
