Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons rose water
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 6 large Queen Garnet plums, halved and stone removed
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 4 dollops vanilla bean yoghurt
- 2 dried edible rose buds, or a few dried rose petals, crushed for garnish
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Line a small metal baking pan with baking paper so it goes up the sides a little.
- Mix honey with rose water and olive oil in a small bowl. Add halved plums and toss so they are well coated with honey mixture.
- Place plum halves, face down onto the lined baking pan. Roast them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork tender, but not split.
- Meanwhile, heat a small frypan, then add slivered almonds and dry toast them until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Allow the plums to cook for approximately 15 mins, then remove from the tray and portion three halves in each serving bowl. Add a dollop of yoghurt on top. Drizzle with the residual plum sauce from the baking pan, and then sprinkle with toasted almonds and rose petals.
