Bacon Wrapped Peaches with Basil and Balsamic Vinegar
Bacon wrapped peaches are not just a trendy appetizer; they have a story rooted in classic cooking techniques. Originally a component of haute cuisine, the combination of pork and fruits has a history that stretches back to medieval times when sweet and savory dishes were all the rage. In the modern era, this delightful dish has been reimagined for contemporary palates, becoming a staple in the repertoire of amateur chefs and esteemed culinary artists alike.
The essence of this dish lies in the contrast of the warm, salty bacon against the cool sweetness of a warm, in-season peach. When these bold flavors are complemented by the unexpected twist of basil and balsamic vinegar, each bite becomes a sensory delight.
To make this a full experience, try pairing these paleo bacon-wrapped peaches with a Grilled Chicken Salad or, for an even more sophisticated experience, go for Scallops with Potato Cauliflower Puree. Absolute bliss to the palate.
