Recipe: Peachy Pesto Toast Author: Kelly King Corbin, Hamama Grower Prep Time: 15 Mins Cook Time: 0 Mins Makes: 2 Pieces I can’t say that I’m quite ready for summer to end, so for now I’m savoring all of the remaining summer produce. Peaches are my favorites; I follow the Georgia Peach Truck stops here in Wisconsin so I can get tons of fresh Georgia Peaches towards the end of Summer! I am always looking for news ways to use them & I stumbled across Hamama grower Kelly King Corbin’s eye-catching Peach Toast! Here is a version inspired by her great idea (the pictures are hers!). *TIPS* Put these toppings on Crostini for a tasty, beautiful, and bite-sized snack to share! You could even just toss these ingredients together over a bed of mixed greens/arugula, add some toasted pecans, and make a lovely end-of-summer salad! Ingredients: 2 slices of Bread, sliced, drizzled with olive oil, and grilled or toasted 1 peach (firm, yet ripe) Feta cheese crumbles to taste (Can sub goat cheese or fresh mozzarella) Heirloom or cherry tomatoes, sliced A couple of thin red onion slices (optional) Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling Balsamic Vinegar, for drizzling A few leaves of arugula Hamama Microgreens - Super Salad Mix is great on this! Basil & Microgreen Pesto: 1 packed cup basil and your favorite Microgreens (Radish adds a nice bite! Mint is also a lovely addition). ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted (you could also use walnuts, pecans, or almonds) 1 garlic clove, roughly chopped Juice and zest from ½ lemon ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, more if desired Pinches red pepper flakes Sea salt and fresh black pepper Instructions: Slice peaches into 6 segments per peach. Make the pesto: Combine the microgreens, basil, nuts, garlic, lemon juice and zest, and olive oil in a small food processor with pinches of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse to combine, adding more oil for a smoother pesto, or leaving it chunky – whichever consistency you prefer! Assemble toast: Top the toasted bread with a dollop of pesto, arugula, feta crumbles, red onion, tomatoes, and fresh peach slices! Garnish with more Hamama microgreens! ENJOY! -Allie
