Peach Compote

6-8 Peaches

1 1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper

1 Bunch Cilantro

1/8 cup fresh Garlic

1/4 cup Apple cider

1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar

1T Olive oil

1 T Canola Oil

1 Sprig fresh rosemary

1T Salt

1T Lemon/Lime juice

1/8 cup brown sugar

Method of Preparation

1. Halve the peaches, remove the pits, and lightly grill them on the flat side.

2. Chill the peaches and slice them into 4 slices per half.

3. Combine the peaches with all the other ingredients, toss to combine.

4. In a pot warm the compote until the peaches have softened a bit.

**Recommend doing this just before you are going to serve them, as the compote will not hold its firmness for very long.

 

This peach compote would also pair nicely with a number of different fishes as well ( Swordfish, Seabass, Grouper,etc…. anything with a meatier texture that would hold up to grilling.
