You're A Real Peach

While I can't claim to follow the Hundred Mile Diet (only eat that which has been grown/raised within 100 miles), I do like to eat Ontario produce where possible. It was obviously harvest week this week. Among out regular haul was a basket of peaches, and some delicious looking brussel sprouts.

And so tonight, we made use of them. The peaches became part of a curried peach sauce, which was spooned over grilled salmon, and served with steamed brussel sprouts and a rice pilaf. The peach sauce was simplicty in itself:

Ingredients
========
3 peaches, peeled and diced
1/4 honey
1 tsp curry powder

Steps
1. Simmer peaches, honey and curry powder over a low heat until the peaches break down and are soft. 10 - 15 minutes

That's it, really. While the sauce was delicious, it went especially well with the salmon. One of the reasons for this was a Christmas gift I received from The Singer's aunt, Aunt C. A wonderful collection of salts of all varieties - Indian Black Salt (red really), a Hawaiian salt which has a bit of clay in it (great for roasts), various sea salts and the peace de rezistance a smoked black salt, which is magnificient on fish.

The combination of the grilling, salt and sauce made for a magnificient taste. Probably one of my favourite meals to date. Thanks to the Bluff Dwellers for the assistance and advice on steaming the sprouts - neither The Singer nor I had cooked sprouts in our lives.

Sprouts are also really good fried -- stir fried sort of. Especially with a little bacon. Yum.

B Sprouts? Seriously? I am super impressed. I only know two people who will touch them. Well, now four (counting you and Singer). Wow. You are brave.

However, we are really getting into farmers markets around here. Everywhere you go, it's possible to stumble across one. Emi and I were out yesterday and found some really awesome peaches and nectarines. They were so awesome we had bread, meat, cheese and fresh fruit for dinner. I love this time of year!

Thinking of you (both),
