Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole nectarines
- 60 grams pistachios
- 30 grams almond flour
- 45 milliliters honey
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 200 grams Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cut the nectarines in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of flesh from the center of each half to create a shallow space for the filling. Save the removed flesh in a small bowl.
In a food processor, combine pistachios, almond flour, 1 tablespoon of honey, butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, the saved nectarine flesh, and a pinch of sea salt. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse paste.
Spoon the pistachio mixture evenly into the hollowed centers of the nectarine halves, pressing gently to pack the filling.
Arrange the stuffed nectarines in the prepared baking dish, flesh side up. Drizzle the remaining honey over the tops of the nectarines.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the nectarines are tender and the filling is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side, if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
