Gorgonzola With Spiced Walnuts And Port Wine Syrup

Recipe Ingredients

1/2		Inexpensive port wine - - (abt 16 oz)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Unsalted butter
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Walnut halves
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
2 teaspoons	10ml	Sugar
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Sweet gorgonzola cheese

Recipe Instructions

In a 2-quart saucepan bring the port wine to a boil and reduce it to about 1/2 cup thick syrup. Allow to cool. The liquid may even thicken some more. This is fine.

In a small saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is liquid, add the walnut halves, cayenne, pepper, salt, sugar and saute until well coated and lightly toasted about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

To serve, divide the gorgonzola evenly among 4 plates. Sprinkle equal amounts of walnuts over each portion of cheese. Using a tablespoon, drizzle a pretty design of port syrup over the cheese and the plate. Enjoy!

This recipe yields 4 servings as a cheese course or dessert.
