Author Notes
I was trying to come up with ways to enjoy the wonderful nectarines that are abundant at the local markets, and thought of how it could serve as the base of a healthy and sweet twist on the Canadian dish of potatoes, gravy and cheese. In place of the gravy, a sweet yogurt sauce provides creaminess along with hints of lemon, mint and orange. Boursin with its mild flavor and flavorful herbs adds a savoriness and substance that makes this a great light lunch for 2 or side dish for 4 with grilled chicken or fish. —Lauren Bradford
