Step-by-step
- Wash peaches, cut them in halves and remove the stone.
- Take a dry frying pan heat the honey, add cinnamon and rum and put peaches on it.
- Fry 8-10 minutes.
- Peaches will soften, honey will reduce and become like syrup.
- Turn peaches from time to time to cover them with syrup.
- In other pan first fry grounded pistachio.
- Remove it and add olive oil and brown some breadcrumbs.
- When finish, add some cinnamon and the pistachio.
- Serve half peach on a plate, pour over some syrup and add some breadcrumbs mixed with pistachio and cinnamon and put it into the stone hole.
- Put a spoon of sour cream on the side.
- Serve warm.
Swapping dark rum for clear vodka in the pan changes the final glaze dramatically. Vodka provides alcohol for flambe without adding molasses notes, leaving the honey flavor sharp and unmasked. When choosing equipment, use a heavy stainless steel or cast iron skillet rather than a thin aluminum pan. Thin metal causes honey to scorch before the fruit softens inside. Cook the fruit cut-side down for the first 5 minutes to caramelize the exposed sugars properly.
Pistachios require careful attention during toasting. Heat them in a dry pan over medium-low heat for 3 minutes until aromatic, stirring constantly to prevent burning the natural oils. Breadcrumbs need a separate pan with olive oil to achieve an even golden brown color before mixing with the nuts and ground cinnamon.
Plan to serve this dish immediately upon assembly. Peaches release moisture rapidly once cut and cooked, making the breadcrumb topping soggy within 20 minutes. Refrigerating assembled leftovers is not recommended because the toasted elements lose their crunch entirely.
