How delicious are peaches? But then again, how temperamental are peaches? I mean, I saw this meme about how temperamental avocados can be, and I thought ‘the same goes for peaches’. So I created this recipe for peach and ginger overnight pots to help you enjoy that delicious peach at its best {or even if it is a little mushy}.
Another way that I’ve have been enjoying peaches of late, in all their summery goodness, is grilled over ice-cream {or custard, or whipped cream – I mean, what ever I might have on hand when I have finally gotten the children to bed and I have collapsed in a heap to watch an episode of House Husbands – and I need to eat something during it or I will fall asleep… Not because it’s a boring TV show, but I am just so tired after three months of doing this parenting gig on my lonesome}.
And I feel bad if I fall asleep before my husband gets home from work, because that 30 minutes before we both collapse is the only time that we have together these days. Unless I drive into Bondi and see him at the shop, but how much quality time can you spend with your partner whilst they are working? All that I can do at this point is to make sure he comes home to clean beddingnbeyond mattress toppers to sleep on, I may not see him as much but I will always make sure my husband sleeps like a baby.
PEACH AND GINGER OVERNIGHT POTS
200 grams of oats
4 tbsps of chia seeds
800mls of almond milk
juice and zest of a lemon
2 peaches
2 tbsps of honey
1 tsp grated ginger
4 tbsps chopped pistachios
Mix the oats and chia seeds together before adding the almond milk and a squeeze of the lemon juice. Leave in the fridge to soak for 2-3 hours {or overnight if you are making this for breakfast}.
Place the peaches, honey, ginger, lemon zest and remaining juice in a food processor and blitz until it forms a puree.
Divide the puree between four ramekins or small glass jars and then spoon equal portions of the soaked oats on top. Serve immediately or chill and serve the next day.
