Author Notes
Springtime in Denver is a mess. That that probabilities are you’ll presumably depart from mountainous sizzling weather to a blizzard, in most cases in the identical day. This One year we perceived to head straight from chilly weather to summer with barely a lick of spring weather. And with the onset of afternoons in the upper-80s, I was feeling fancy making one thing cool and refreshing. No longer too prolonged ago I grew to turn into mildly bearing in mind turning diverse issues into a granita-fancy consistency. From caramelized carrots with goat cheese “snow” to scrumptious, slushy chimichurris, I was exploring a unfold of alternatives. A flavored coconut milk gave the impression fancy a truly best candidate and I assumed it could perchance pair smartly with grilled stone fruit. It is not moderately peach season here, so I settled for some nectarines, nevertheless as soon as the Palisade peaches hit town, this dish will seemingly be even better. You are going to be ready to support the fruit valid off the grill so the “snow” melts rapidly into a sauce, or cease them earlier than time and support them room temperature to revel in the icy coconut as it melts on your mouth. —savorthis
