Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 4 slices of bread
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- Honey to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the peaches. Rinse the ripe peaches under cool water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Cut each peach in half and remove the pit. Set aside.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill is hot, place the peach halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the peaches are tender but still hold their shape. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool slightly.
- While the peaches are grilling, prepare the Thai peanut sauce. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and chopped fresh basil. Mix well until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Taste and add honey to your liking for sweetness.
- Next, toast the slices of bread. You can do this on the grill for added flavor or in a toaster until golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Take one slice of toasted bread and spread a generous amount of the Thai peanut sauce on it. Place two grilled peach halves on top of the sauce.
- Top the peaches with another slice of toasted bread to form a sandwich. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a little extra honey over the peaches before topping with the second slice of bread.
- Cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Grilled Peach Sandwich with Basil Thai Peanut Sauce!
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm peaches to ensure they hold their shape during grilling.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat for perfect caramelization.
- Don't skip the honey - it adds a sublime touch of sweetness that balances the savory sauce.
- For extra flavor, try brushing the peaches with a little olive oil before grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, a hot skillet works just as well for preparing the peaches.
- Adjust the Thai peanut sauce consistency with water or add more lime juice for brightness.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich while the bread is crispy and peaches are warm.
- Experiment with different bread types like sourdough or whole grain for varied textures.
