Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe plums
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups walnuts
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 sprig mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the plums in half and remove the pits.
Brush the cut side of each plum with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and set aside.
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they’re golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool slightly, then finely chop.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped walnuts and set the yogurt sauce aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the plums cut-side down and grill for 3-4 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the plums are slightly softened, but not mushy. Flip and grill the rounded side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the grilled plums from the heat and let them cool slightly.
To serve, place 2 grilled plum halves on a plate and drizzle generously with the spiced walnut yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful dessert.
