Roasted Rose Scented Plums with Slivered Almonds

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

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Line a small metal baking pan with baking paper so it goes up the sides a little.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a small frypan, then add slivered almonds and dry toast them until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. 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.
