Perfect peaches with almond pesto from Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South (page 448) by Vivian Howard

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Vivian says, "Because these peaches have only a few nuts to hide behind, don't make this if you don't have fragrant, ripe, perfect peaches" - I totally agree! But if you have perfect peaches, this is a lovely way to showcase them. The almond pesto (also delicious on pasta) and fried sage leaves can be done ahead so the dish comes together quickly. The small amount of amaretto tossed with the peach slices and the fried sage leaves make the dish something special - don't skip them! Very nice with a glass of fino sherry.
