(Today is indeed Minimal Monday, but I couldn’t fit it in the title) We’re all about to get inundated with stone fruits in the next few weeks, and most of us have been waiting around for them since sometime last January.  They’re going to be ripe, and juicy and plentiful.  So plentiful you might even start to run out of ways to use them.  Enter this cute little idea. This  dish requires no skill at all.  Just halve the fruit and plop them, cut side down, on a screaming hot grill pan.  Leave them for a minute or so, then flip them over onto a plate, top with a dollop of creme fraiche (or yogurt) and a sprinkle of pistachios.  The drizzle of pomegranate molasses makes the flavors pop, and you could substitute any really good fruity vinegar.  It can be a first course, a salad, or a dessert.
