Blue Cheese And Cress Beef Wellingtons With Broiled Tomatoes Parsley Dill Potatoes And Broccolini Spears Recipes

Steps:

• Using a peeler or a paring knife, peel a 1/2-inch strip around the circumference of each potato. Fill a large saucepan with cold water. Add the potatoes and place them over high heat. Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and place the potatoes back into the pan on the burner for 30 seconds to dry them out. Add the butter and toss in the herbs. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Set an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

• Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and place on a baking sheet, cut sides up. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil tomatoes until warmed through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
• Finely chop blue cheese if there are any large chunks. Sprinkle on top of tomatoes, then top with bread crumb mixture. Broil until cheese is melted and bread crumbs are golden brown, about 1 more minute. Watch carefully, as bread crumbs can burn quickly.
