Roasted Nectarines with Goat’s Cheese, Almonds, Watercress and Croutons
Introduction
This is one of the nicest dinner-party starters I can think of, the nectarines and goat’s cheese work perfectly with the roasted almonds and sweet, sticky balsamic dressing. You could also use peaches – or even flat peaches – when in season. (If your nectarines are on the unripe side of ready, don’t panic, they’ll soften up in the oven. Don’t use very ripe fruit, they’ll turn to mush.)

| whole blanched almonds | |
