Gorgonzola Party
I wanted to have a go at a Gorgonzola-based recipe my brother makes, so I bought a block of it from Costco… a big block. I used it for dinner the last two nights with pretty good results—it has a salty character that doesn’t make things creamy like you’d expect most cheeses to do.
Steamed Asparagus + Mushrooms + Gorgonzola + Sausuage
Well, that pretty much says it all. After tossing a healthy amount of asparagus and whole mushrooms into the steamer, I sliced up a couple of sausages and heated them in a frying pan. When the veggies were tender, I used those as a base and topped with the sausages and a layer of crumbed gorgonzola. Tasty!
Tri-Tip + Leek/Sweet Potato/Gorgonzola
This is actually the recipe I had in mind when buying the gorgonzola—while a tri-tip roasted in the oven (I was too lazy to fire up the Big Green Egg), I steamed some peeled and chopped sweet potatoes. While those steamed, I sauteed some leeks with a little bit of butter. Once the sweet potatoes were done, I added the leeks and a healthy dose of chili paste (sriracha) and did a rough mash (didn’t use the masher—just a wooden fork. chunks are ideal, but the sweet potatoes get so soft that some mashing while mixing is unavoidable). Yum again!
