Welcome to Our Sunday Café, we are pleased you stopped by for a visit. Today we are offering another delicious recipe from our kitchen. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did…
The other kitchen change in place for 2017 is a reduction in meat consumption. The goal is to balance the ratios between omega 6 and omega 3 fats in our diets. Which brings us to this delicious Winter Pear and Gorgonzola Cheese starter plate. It is fresh and delicious! We paired this with a (meatless) main dish salad.
We had been busy with errands throughout the day, coming home to a relaxed dinner was just the ticket. Our internet was out for most of the day, either from the freezing windstorm during the night or possible damage to the optic cable, we never did know.
Our recipe, if you will, serves 2, but you can easily multiply for those around your table.
Winter Pear and Gorgonzola with Balsamic Vinegar and Toasted Walnuts |
Winter Pear and Gorgonzola with Balsamic Vinegar and Toasted Walnuts
by the seat of my pants
1 firm yet ripe Pear
scant 1/4 c Gorgonzola cheese
scant T olive oil
scant T Balsamic vinegar
scant 1/4 c toasted walnut halves
In a small bowl, mash the Gorgonzola cheese together with the olive oil, to a chunky mass. Cut pear in half, remove stem and core, leaving pear half intact, place each half on individual serving plates.
Divide the Gorgonzola mixture between the pear halves. Drizzle each with the Balsamic vinegar and arrange the toasted walnuts over and around the pear half.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and all the very best in 2017!
Thank you Joyce, and Happy New Year to you.
DeleteLove pears and cheese, such a perfect flavor combination.
ReplyDeleteI agree, pears and cheese are a magical duo, so glad to find such delicious pears in winter. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteAn elegant and delicious starter indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks you Emily!
DeleteI have never tried pear with cheese. I know your post said pears-when I first looked I thought it was a chicken breast.
ReplyDeletePears match up with just about any cheese, a creamy blue vein cheese has a special place on my plate when paired with a fresh pear. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteNow that's as easy as it gets. This sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteFresh pears and a blue veined cheese is one of my favorite combos. Adding the balsamic and toasted walnuts just upped my enjoyment! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis look delicious
ReplyDeleteThank you.
