Ingredients

2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more for brushing
2 medium peaches, about 6 ounces, pitted and sliced 1/4-inch thick

WHITE PEACHES, PISTACHIOS, HONEY AND RICOTTA

White Peaches, Pistachios, Honey and Ricotta image

This recipe is based on a dish from the chef Seamus Mullen of Tertulia in New York. It's inspired by a Catalan honey-and-cheese dessert called mel i mató, with an unexpected sprinkle of pistachios and fresh peaches. After falling ill, Mr. Mullen changed his diet to focus more on ingredients with anti-inflammatory effects. Many such foods, like stone fruits, often play a central role in the Spanish cuisine he specializes in.
