Griddled nectarine, sea purslane & labneh

Starter Serves 2 20 min

A simple starter that plays on the age-old combination of salty vs sweet. If your nectarines are perfectly ripe, you can use them uncooked if you prefer.

Method

Prep time: 10 min
Cooking time: 10 min

  • Step 1

    Halve and stone the nectarines, and lightly brush with some oil. Place them on the BBQ or griddle pan, face-side down, over a medium heat until nicely marked. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Resist the temptation to play with them too much, or they’ll tend to stick or tear. Flip them and cook for a further 4 minutes or so, until softened.

  • Step 2

    Spoon some labneh onto a plate and then top with fat slices of nectarine. Scatter the leaves artistically across the top and finish with a few pinches of sumac.
