Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower, plus more for grill
4 ripe peaches (about 1 1/4 pounds), pitted and quartered
1/2 white onion, cut into 2 wedges
1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle in adobo
1/2 teaspoon white-wine vinegar, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon sugar, plus more as needed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

1

Heat grill (or grill pan) to high (see page 367 for instructions); lightly oil grates.
2

Drizzle peaches and onion with the oil, and rub to coat.
3

Grill until peaches and onion are lightly charred and peach skins begin to loosen, about 10 minutes, turning every few minutes.
4

Let cool.
5

Peel peaches (discard skins) and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; finely chop onion.
6

Combine in a bowl with remaining ingredients, and season with salt and pepper.

Add more vinegar for a tangier taste, or more sugar for a sweeter flavor (this is important if peaches are not particularly sweet).
