Peach Cobbler

It's the season to BBQ, 

It's the season of peaches, 

It's the season to spend time in your backyard, 

It's the season of beaches!!

OMG, the above stanza is original...I don't know how I did that but I like it. Recently, I had my friends come over... we cooked together and had a great time. Since my friends had left me some peaches and ice-cream from that day, I felt like whipping up a quick dessert on my little grill! 

Many years back when we first moved to the US I would love watching Food Network and Bobby Flay's rustic BBQ cooking. He used to grill lot of fruit for dessert and that was the time I saw him bake this on his grill. As an Indian, a fruit cobbler is a very new concept to me...of coarse I am going to use Google search like everyone does, and Wikipedia says that it originated back when people from England moved to US and did not have enough ingredients to make a pudding. So a deconstructed fruit based rustic dish made of fruit, flour, butter, and sugar became popular. Very interesting!! I just quickly whipped this up with ingredients I had at home.

Ingredients (serves 2)

4 fresh peaches

1 cup boxed cake mix (or use 1 cup AP flour and 1 cup sugar)

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp. butter for sauteing

2 tbsp. for topping

Ice-cream of your choice (1like vanilla)

• Wash and slice peaches. (I like to use fresh peaches...I just love them.)
• Heat a cast iron pan on a charcoal grill.
• Add butter and peach slices. Sprinkle sugar and cook till it softens and get caramelized.
• Add a cup of cake mix. 
• Top with some pieces of butter all over. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes. (Cooking time depends on the amount of heat on the grill. I put some burning charcoal on the top on the lid for even heating.)
• When done, remove in a plate and serve with ice-cream :)
• Enjoy!
