The sweet and sour appetizer is an irresistible sweet and sour temptation. It represents a fascinating contrast between sweetness and intense sea flavors. The peaches, sweet and juicy, are delicately hollowed out and then filled with stracciatella, a creamy fresh cheese, enriched with chopped pistachios to add a crunchy and aromatic note.
The smoked swordfish, with its robust and slightly smoky flavor, serves as a tasty and complementary base for the stuffed peaches. This dish harmoniously and balanced unites flavors and textures: the creaminess of the stracciatella and the crunchiness of the pistachios contrast with the more complex texture and bold taste of the smoked swordfish.
Seasoned with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar, it becomes an inviting and sophisticated dish, ideal as an appetizer or as a light main course for a summer dinner.

Storage and Notes
Tips
Use organic and quality peaches. Make sure they are neither unripe nor too ripe.
You can customize this recipe by replacing stracciatella with fresh burrata or buffalo mozzarella to vary the flavor and texture.
STORAGE store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, it is best to consume them the day after preparation to ensure the freshness of the stracciatella and the peaches.
