Grilled Peach Dessert On A Himalayan Salt Block

My dad is such a great cook.  He really didn’t get started cooking until after I was out of the house.  At that time, his job took him away during the week and I guess he didn’t care for eating out.  Either way I am grateful because when he comes to visit we LOVE to eat his food.  He is kinda funny, because I try and cook for him but the next thing I know he is cooking for me!  Anyway, the reason I tell you this, is I have learned a lot of secrets and amazing recipes from my dad.  I have yet to have a bad meal that he has prepared.

Last summer he introduced me to the Himalayan Salt Grilling Slab.  I purchased mine from Sur La Table and I thought it was the coolest thing.   They have been around for quite a while but sometime us midwesterners are the last to know!  Himalayan salt is from Pakistan and some consider it healthier than table salts.  I personally feel it tastes less “salty” and has a more mineral taste.  The grilling slab adds amazing flavor to food without the need for extra seasoning.  To begin you need to make sure to heat up your salt slab properly.  Heat up the salt slab gradually to a temperature of around 450-500 degrees.  You will know it is hot enough when you sprinkle a little bit of water on it and it sizzles.  At that point it is perfect for grilling.  I love meat and seafood on the salt slab.  It is really easy and so flavorful!

You can also grill fruit and I am sharing this yummy grilled peach dessert, one of my favorites.  We have our own peach trees and I love using them for this recipe.  Make sure to use ripe or almost ripe peaches.  The flavor is that much better when the peaches can meld with the salt slab flavors.  This recipe is easy and sure to please!
