Method

Tap a time to watch that step in the video.

  1. Heat the grill (or a grill pan) to medium-high. Halve the peaches and remove the stones. 1:31
  2. Grill the peaches cut side down until they have good grill marks: 1–2 minutes in the video, 3–4 minutes in the cook's written recipe. 1:35
  3. Turn them over and top each half with a little of the butter (2 tbsp in all, about ¾ tsp each), a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey (keep a little honey back). Take care, as butter can make the grill flare up. 1:47
  4. Close the lid and cook for another 1–3 minutes, until the topping melts and caramelises. Finish with the last of the honey and serve warm. 1:59

Tip. Serves 4 (our estimate, one peach each). The cook suggests serving them with whipped cream, ice cream or cake, or sliced over a salad; Greek yoghurt keeps it lighter.

Vitamin C Source11%

10 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (99%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Show the other 14
Vitamin E9%

1.3 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (86%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin A8%

72 µg a serve, mostly from butter (66%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Potassium6%

300 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (96%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Vitamin K4%

4.7 µg a serve, mostly from peaches (83%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Iron3%

0.6 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (78%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Magnesium3%

14 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (93%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Zinc3%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (87%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Vitamin B63%

0 mg a serve, mostly from peaches (92%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Calcium2%

21 mg a serve, mostly from ground cinnamon (47%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Folate2%

6.5 µg a serve, mostly from peaches (93%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin D1%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from butter (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.

Vitamin B121%

0 µg a serve, mostly from butter (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Selenium1%

0.3 µg a serve, mostly from peaches (45%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Omega-31%

0 g a serve, mostly from butter (100%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
