Duraznos al Grill con Requeson (Grilled Peaches with Ricotta Cheese)
This dish has to be the easiest recipe ever. It’s simple to prepare and not to mention fancy when plated. The only cooking needed is the actual grilling of the peaches, which softens the peaches and magnifies the sweetness and juiciness while adding a smoky flavor to each grilled peach.

- Don't like ricotta cheese? Try these grilled peaches topped with ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt, or nothing at all.
