Grilled Fruit Platter with Herbs

21/06/2015

This barbecue dessert is sweet, easy, colourful and quick. What better way than taking the fragrant flavours of watermelon, pineapple and peach, drizzling them with maple syrup or honey and grilling for a couple of minutes each side, then sprinkling them with some fresh herbs.

Serves: 6-8

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Gluten free, Dairy free, Vegan

Ingredients

6 slices ripe watermelon 1.5inch thick, approx 1/4 of a watermelon

1 pineapple, skinned and cut into 6 thick rings

6 peaches, halved and pitted

4 tablespoons maple syrup

1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme leaves

1 tablespoon of fresh chopped mint leaves

1/2 lemon to squeeze onto watermelon before serving

Method

  • Preheat the barbecue or the grill to high
  • Brush the peach halves and pineapple segments with maple syrup all over
  • Place all the fruits on the barbecue or under the grill, flesh side down for the peaches.
  • Cook for 5-10 minutes until they begin to colour and soften. Turn the fruit over and cook for a further 5-10 minutes so that they are cooked on both sides.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • To serve scatter the thyme leaves over the peaches, scatter the chopped mint leaves over the pineapple and squeeze the lemon juice over the watermelon.
  • Delicious as is, or with a dollop of yoghurt, crème fraiche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
