Gorgonzola Tomatoes On Endive Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pine nuts on a small baking sheet and toast in the oven until very lightly browned and fragrant, 6 to 10 minutes. (Check the nuts frequently because they can quickly go from perfectly toasted to burnt!) Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• Combine the gorgonzola and heavy cream in a small bowl and use a fork or small whisk to whip the mixture together until smooth. Smear a scant teaspoon of the gorgonzola mixture on the end of each endive leaf, then lightly drizzle with some of the honey. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and pomegranate seeds and garnish with the mint leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a teaspoon or grapefruit spoon, remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Place the tomato halves, cut side down, on paper towels to drain, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Using clean hands, gently toss the drained tomato halves in the oil mixture until coated. Marinate the tomatoes for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Gorgonzola cheese.
• Place the marinated tomato halves, cut side up, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Fill each tomato half with the bread crumb filling. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until slightly softened and the underside of the tomatoes are brown.
• Arrange the cooked tomatoes on a serving platter. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, pepper, and garlic; cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
• Add the cheeses, cream, and milk; heat mixture until cheeses melt and the mixture is simmering.
• Stir in the tomatoes (including their liquid), tomato juice, basil, sugar, and pepper. Continue to simmer mixture for 15 to 20 minutes while stirring constantly. Do not boil.

Steps:

• Arrange the endive leaves on a platter. Spread about 1 heaping teaspoon of the cheese on each endive leaf, then drizzle with honey.
• Sprinkle the endive with pecans and chopped chives.

Steps:

• Carefully peel the leaves from the head of endive, and place them open-side up on a serving platter. Place one leaf of parsley at the base of each endive leaf and 1 tablespoon of Gorgonzola artfully on top of the parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high heat.
• Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until hot. Add the sage and allow the sage to infuse its flavor into the oil. Remove from the heat when the sage becomes fragrant and slightly crispy, a few minutes.
• Grill the endive and radicchio until slightly wilted with good grill marks, about 4 minutes per side. Turn the endive and radicchio cut-side up and top with the gorgonzola. Close the lid and grill until the cheese has softened, 2 minutes.
• Remove the endive and radicchio to a platter. Drizzle the infused olive oil over the top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the shells.
• Cook shells according to package directions; drain and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onion, pepper flakes, and black pepper; cook 3 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Add tomato paste and garlic; saute for 1 minute.
• Stir in tomatoes and vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
• Add cream, simmer for 1 minute, then stir in cheese, basil, cooked shells, and salt.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Arrange the tomato slices on 4 to 6 plates, drizzle some olive oil over them and sprinkle them with basil and black pepper.
• Crumble the Gorgonzola and distribute it over the tops of all the slices. Do the same with the pine nuts. Sprinkle on the remaining olive oil and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• In a shallow baking pan toast walnuts in middle of oven until fragrant, about 10 minutes, and cool. Chop walnuts.
• In a small bowl whisk together vinegars and 1/2 teaspoon honey and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
• Separate 4 outer leaves from each endive and arrange 3 leaves on each of 4 plates. Cut remaining endive crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and put in a large bowl. Peel apple and using a mandoline or other manual slicer cut thin slices lengthwise from 4 sides, stopping just before core. Make small stacks of slices and cut stacks into thin julienne strips.
• Toss sliced endive with dressing and divide among plates, mounding on whole leaves. Top salads with Gorgonzola, walnuts, apple, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle remaining 2 teaspoons honey over salads.
