Grilled Peaches With Dukkah and Blueberries Recipe (2024)

You can purchase dukkah at Trader Joe's.

replaced the whipped cream by Greek yoghurt, drizzled with spicy syrup (sugar, water, star anise, hot red pepperoni)

Delicious and pretty simple recipe (the dukkah took about 10 minutes to make, most of which was peeling the pistachios. But note that the steps in this recipe are reversed: the last sentence of Step 1 is "sprinkle with some of the dukkah," but you haven't made it yet because that's Step 2! Just do Step 2 first.

Zingerman's.com seems to always have delicious urfa pepper in stock

I left out of the dukkah a few things I didn’t have on hand ( nigella seeds, dried mint and pistachios ), substituted sumac for dried lemon zest, and oregano for marjoram. Followed Annette’s suggestions: used Greek yogurt in place of whipped cream and made a syrup to drizzle on the yogurt with water, sugar, star anise and a small piece of hot red pepper. Really well received! Even without the syrup we loved it.

I've used hazelnut-based dukkah and it's very good for those who do not like almonds. Home Cook's Pantry also sells it fresh and will customize the blend. Definitely clean the grill well (without metal bristles) before and after grilling.

The white is the whipped cream.

A grill pan works just fine.

I made these. Delicious. I wonder if it makes sense to remove the skin off. I found that it took away from the tenderness and texture of the dessert. I will try next time.

I've been doing something similar for years, but as BBQing can be a chancy business in the UK, this is done in the oven: for 5 large peaches/nectarines, scoop out ¼ of the flesh, chop and mix with 1½ cups crumbled Amaretti or ginger biscuits, 3 tbs melted butter, 3 tbs Madeira/Amaretto and spice of choice (cinnamon or mixed spice are most popular). Pile into the holes and into the oven at 170C/350F for 20 mins. Serve with Greek yoghurt or cream. Cannot wait to try dukkah - will report back!

Used a store bought dukkah that had no nuts, so toasted hazelnuts and walnuts to add to the spices and sesame. Thought it was really good but then tried drizzling some balsamic cream over it and it was unbelievably good!

Wondering if this would work if the peaches are baked and finished under the broiler? Thank you.

What is nigella seed? Is there a substitute?

BTW, just for clarification Urfa is cloves not Aleppo pepper. It is completely a different taste. Cheers!

Why olive oil? That will add an off flavor. I'd use ghee.

this would be good with clotted cream.

Has anyone (who like me doesn't have an outdoor grill) tried this under the broiler? Or on top of the stove on a broiler pan? Any tips would be welcome.please.

Can you use cashews in dukkah?

I made my dukkah and roasted my peaches August 15 or so. I used firm white peaches fresh from a farmers market. I served them along with a vegetarian dinner. Yesterday I still had some dukkah. I bought firm yellow late season peaches. I served them for a wedding anniversary breakfast with coffee. Both occasions went well. The prep time was just right. The feeling of wanting to eat something special was more than satisfied. The pistacios and mint in the dukkah spice mix left a lingering intrigue.

Love the dukkah. Have used it for many things, esp. sauted greens.

Huh? Step one is "sprinkle" some of the paste you make in step two? i don't get it. What makes it white??

Any suggestions on how to reheat it? If grill early in the day and then put in the oven a few minutes to reheat?? What do you all think- will that work of will I have mush peaches?

Can you make grilled peaches a day before serving?
