Inspired by fresh local ingredients in season at the Covington Farmer’s Market
You may want to double up on this mouth watering recipe – it will have you going back for seconds, and thirds! Be sure to grab fresh peaches, goat cheese, and jelly from your local farmer’s market!
5 – 6 slices of pancetta, cut into 2″ wide strips
2 medium peaches, pitted and cut into ¼ inch wedges
Sea salt & fresh ground black pepper
Local hot pepper jelly
Local goat cheese
12 – 15 large basil leaves
prepared wooden grilling skewers
Extra virgin olive oil
Heat your grill to medium heat.
Lay out the pancetta strips on a flat surface. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each peach wedge and place at the end of each strip of pancetta. Spread about a tablespoon of pepper jelly on each wedge, top with about a tablespoon of goat cheese. Cover with a basil leaf and press down lightly. Wrap gently with the pancetta, and secure on a skewer – you can fit a few on a skewer, but leave some space between them. Drizzle with olive oil and grill for 3 – 5 minutes on each side, until pancetta begin to brown. Remove from skewers and let cool a few minutes before serving. Alternatively, this recipe can be sauteed on a stove top. Enjoy!
