Peach Lassi

I have been enjoying this year’s stone fruit crop, delicious peaches, nectarines, plums and pluots (have not seen a lot of cherries).  Most of the time, I will simply slice the peaches and nectarines and eat, and sometimes I will place them in a simple salad like peach and tomato salad or arugula and nectarine salad.  Sometimes, I’ll have one or two peaches that are getting nearly over-ripe, and I’ll make a quick refreshing lassi. I like these as an accompaniment to a spicy dinner (it provides the cooling effect like a yogurt raita) such as spicy beef and chickpeas.  Or you can try these for breakfast.

Peach Lassi

2 sliced peaches or nectarines
2 cups yogurt or kefir
ice
honey to taste (I do not use this)

In a blender add the peaches, yogurt, a handful of ice and honey if you’re using.  Blend until the peaches breakdown and the lassi is well blended.  If it is very thick, add a few tablespoons of water.  Serve immediately.
