Foo - Gorgonzola... Gorgonzola, te amo... Gorgonzola

Who'd have ever thought.

A few bits of crumbled, rotting cheese, swarming with bacteria, could turn a boring dinner salad of Greens and Tuna, with Olive Oil and Balsimic Vinegar into a tasty meal.

"Ah, but I do like a bit of gorgonzola, cracking toast!"

Unfortunately the gorgonzola I had for lunch today was bland and pasty to a fault. Well, that's cheese for ya....

someone needs to do something with cheese and sushi

There is. Cream cheese. Vegas Rolls and Philly Rolls I think.

yeah i've had a philly roll before...cream cheese and smoked salmon...yuk

so maybe my idea is not so hot

gorgonzola dolce wrapped in hot polenta, with sauteed mushrooms on top is nice.

Raw Parmesan, parsley, olive oil, and tomatoes.

a green salad, with some walnuts, gorgonzola and raspberry vinegarette FTW

That sounds so delicious.

I made this a couple of weeks ago for a work retreat potluck.

Beet Salad with Gorgonzola


3 lbs beets, roasted, peeled, & cubed
1 bunch scallions
1/2 cup gorgonzola, crumbled
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 large red onion (I used half of one)
6 oz champagne vinaigrette (Such a prepared dressing exists, but I plan to learn to make one myself. You'd need champagne vinegar.)


First chop & slice ingredients. Then in a large serving bowl, combine beets, scallions, walnuts, cheese & red onion. Drizzle with the vinaigrette & gently toss.

Raw Parmesan, parsley, olive oil, and tomatoes.

I'm big into fresh mozzarella. add a bit of basil to that. Oh yeah

Feta cheese <3.

Never had much else.

Gorgonzola is just up the road. It's not much to look at apparently.

Get thee to a Whole Foods and familiarize yourself with the cheese island.....

"Drunken Goat" is one of my favorites....

Gorgonzola cream sauce. If on pasta, go lightly. If on a steak, then you must've overcooked it.

Ive got a good recipe for pumpkin ravioli with a Gorgonzola sauce

a green salad, with some walnuts, gorgonzola and raspberry vinegarette FTW

make those glazed walnuts...and I'll fight you for that salad.

There is a little burrito place in San Mateo that I enjoy one of their burritos that has gorgonzola cheese...

I also like Feta as served on some pizzas at Rainbow Pizza.

Good stuff!!!

I need to try some of the other ideas presented here.

I took a grilling class a while back that made a dessert with marsala marinated pears grilled with a small dollop of gorgonzola added in the center afterwards. It was something I never would've considered on my own but man it was fantastic.

Feta cheese, thinly sliced, granny smith apple, sliced not quite as thinly, Carrs Table Water Cracker with cracked pepper, in that order rrom top to bottom. Eat and enjoy.

Oh, MV, thanks for the warning.

*puts away glazed walnuts and gets our regular walnuts*

1. nuts should never be mixed with salad.

2. sweet and savory is just plain wrong.

3. walnuts should never be consumed. they look too much like cockroaches.

carry on.

1. incorrect, pine nuts, walnuts, peanuts, sunflower seed kernels all have their place in salad lore.

2. incorrect, you should think about going into food comedy, that is golden stuff there.

3. incorrect, they should be eaten because they taste rather nice and they look like tiny, malformed brains.

carrying on.

I am not a big fan of sweet and savory together, but there are enough exceptions that I am willing to try many things. However, I don't like nuts in salad, and I strongly prefer tangy over sweet... Other than 1000 island dressing for some reason.

I like a good slice of hot apple pie with cheddar cheese melted on top. :D

Oooh now that sounds great!!!!



Last time with Gorgonzola - had some friends over and I did some nice steaks on the grill and, after having a similar steak in the restaurant, crumbled gorgonzola over steak and let it melt - yum.

Unfortunately, I learned the difference between "light crumbling" and "handful". Ugh, I put too much on and ended up scraping it off after I had a mouthful of molten gorgonzola. Stuff is not cheap either. Great stuff, but not in large quantities.

GIMME!

1. pine nuts and sunflower seeds are not nuts, they're seeds.

1. Nuts are seeds in essence, as they are fruits that contain seeds. Pecan trees grown from pecans, oak trees from acorns, etc. Peanuts are actually legumes, almonds are drope fruits.

2. to each his own.

Peanuts are beans

Peanuts are beans

beans = legumes, see above:D

beans = legumes, see above:D

this is getting very confusing.
beans = legumes
peanutes = beans
and yet coffee beans =/= legumes.

I don't know what to make of all this. its really quite confounding to my simple little mind.
