If you’re looking for a brunch or lunch recipe, this one’s the bee’s knees. Shoutout @cripanddip AKA Mads for our Hot Honey Loaded Toast with juicy grilled peaches.

What’s Nando’s Hot Honey? Made by Dr Sting’s with honey sourced from our hive at Nando’s HQ in Putney and our African Bird’s Eye Chillies from our PERi-Farms in Southern Africa. It’s homegrown and then some.

Ingredients

For the lemon and garlic ricotta:

125g ricotta cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp paprika

salt and pepper to taste

For the grilled peaches:

1 small peach, pitted and sliced

Olive oil

For the caramelized walnuts:

30g walnuts, roughly chopped

1 tbsp hot honey (or 1 tbsp honey and a pinch of chilli flakes)

pinch of salt

Toast toppers:

1 slice of sourdough

2 slices of prosciutto

store-bought grilled peppers

hot honey

fresh basil leaves

pickled red chillies

To serve

I just add sliced fresh chillies to lemon juice and salt for 10 mins before serving

Method

Step 1

Prepare the lemon and garlic ricotta

Mix the ricotta ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Step 2

Grill the peaches

Preheat a grill pan or griddle over a medium heat. While you’re waiting, brush the peach slices with olive oil. Grill on both sides for about 2-3 minutes. When they’ve slightly softened and you can see grill marks, remove from the heat and set aside.

Step 3

Caramelize the walnuts

Heat your hot honey in a small pan over a medium heat. Don’t have Nando’s Hot Honey? Use a tablespoon of honey and add chilli flakes instead. Add the walnuts and a pinch of salt. Keep stirring for about 2-4 minutes, or until the sugar’s melted and the walnuts are caramelized. Once cooked, leave to cool on a piece of baking paper.

Step 4

Toast the sourdough

While you’re waiting for the walnuts to cool, toast a thick slice of sourdough until it’s golden and crispy.

Step 5

Load your toast

Now for the fun part. Spread a layer of the lemon and garlic ricotta mix on the toasted sourdough. Pop the grilled peach and store-bought grilled red peppers on top, then add the prosciutto slices and basil. Sprinkle with your caramelized walnuts and chopped pickled chillies and drizzle with more hot honey for a final sting. Enjoy!!
