Peaches with Lemon & Saffron

 

4 Peaches

1 Lemon

2 oz Butter

1 pinch Saffron

2 T. Agave

4 T. EVOO

2 oz Almonds

Vanilla Ice Cream for serving

 

​Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over low heat and add 6 segments of each stoned peach with its skin into the pan alongside 6 segments of the lemon with the seeds removed. Place the Saffron thread in a small bowl of water until the color has diffused throughout. Once the thread has diffused, place the mixture into the sauté pan along with the agave syrup.  Cover the pan and let simmer gently for 20 – 30 mins, do not move around in order to preserve the skin of the peaches. When the fruit is tender but still holding form, remove from the head, and drizzle some of the EVOO along with toasted almonds.  Finally, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top to complement the warm dessert.
