Basil and Peach Sauce Recipe
This basil and peach sauce recipe is fresh, vibrant, and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. A quick 10-minute sauce that pairs beautifully with pork, chicken, or fish.
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe peach diced small (skin on or peeled, your choice)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp honey optional, balances acidity
- 1 –2 tsp white wine vinegar to taste
- 2 tbsp fresh basil finely chopped (plus a few small leaves for garnish)
- Pinch of salt & cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Sauté Garlic – In a small skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Avoid browning.
- Cook Peaches – Stir in diced peach and let it cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and slightly saucy but still holding shape. (Leave the skin on for a rustic look, or peel if you prefer a smooth finish.)
- Finish Off-Heat – Remove from heat. Stir in honey, white wine vinegar, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the balance—more vinegar for brightness or more honey for sweetness.
- Serve – Spoon the peach sauce over pork steak, chicken, or fish, and garnish with extra basil.
