Soak onion in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl with garlic, mustard, vinegar and 80 ml oil. Stir to combine. Top with frisée but don’t toss. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
Heat a barbecue to medium. Brush cut side of peach halves with remaining 1 tbsp oil and honey. Grill, cut-side down, for 5 minutes or until dark golden. Turn and cook for 2 minutes or until starting to soften. Set aside.
