Renting a house in Puglia was one of the best vacations we’ve done. Having no oven and only a bbq was a fun challenge of planning side dishes and one of the standouts was this refreshing dish of grilled peaches, fresh tomatoes plated on a bed of creamy Stracciatella and drizzled with hot honey. Topped further with chopped nuts and basil, this dish really hits all of the creamy, crunchy, hot, savory, sweet notes in one bite. The
