Do something with Danish Blue?

[Feek]

When I was in the co-op a few days ago they had cheese samples on the counter and there was some Danish Blue. I tried a bit and it was incredibly strong to the 'head blowing off' level.

So of course I bought some but apart from having awesome melted blue on toast or awesome melted blue on a burger, I really don't know what to do with it.

Suggestions please. Simple ones that I can manage please.

Can't really help you with recipes buddy but I love Danish Blue. I normally just have it on crackers or, occasionally, melted on top of a burger or a juicy chunk of rare Aberdeen Angus.

My suggestion would be: Cut a red pepper in half and hollow it out. Roast in the oven for 10 nins just to soften and then fill it with some pieces of Danish Blue and top with a few pine nuts before grilling it until bubbley.

HOWEVER, I know you don't like "$hit", so stick it on top of a burger or some steak like StanLite has just suggested

Bash a chicken breast out to make an escolope, dump a big chunk of danish blue in the middle and wrap the flattened hen boob around it. Then wrap some bacon around your little parcel and throw it in the oven (gas mark 6) for about half an hour.

Enjoy! :D

I have to say that Dym's option is winning out and it's what I was thinking about while I was in the shower this morning before coming back in here. I was wondering about stuffing some chicken with it and introducing it to some sliced pig.

Should I foil wrap it while cooking?

Should I foil wrap it while cooking?

I wouldn't. The pig flesh will get crispy if you don't and should prevent the chicken from drying out.

Sounds yummy to me. Might have to give this a bash when I get back to Blighty.

Mrs Dym has suggested something she's been cooking recently, which is leeks, bacon, stilton, cream and pasta.. Which is a rather lovely little pasta dish. Let me know if you're interested and I'll grab the recipe and post it up for you :)

I need an idiot (me) proof simple cheese-less version, which I shall then attempt. I already have the chicken breasts and shall acquire suitable bacon forthwith. :)

[Dymetrie]

4 parts butter to 1 part chives and 1 part parsley...

Kinda like a Kiev, but with added pig meat :D

[Mark]

That doesn't pass the idiot test. :p I shall probably just wrap up the breasts as they are. I've done that before with turkey so it should work fine with chicken. :)

[Dymetrie]

Buy some garlic butter from a shop and dump a lump of it in the middle of the chicken?

[Mark]

Sounds like my sort of plan. I'll see how I feel (won't be happening for a few weekends anyway).

We're having chicken stuffed with brie and surrounded by a smoked pig crust tomorrow Dym. Thanks for reminding me. I've not cooked it for aaaaaaaaaaages and it's one of Leon's favourite dishes :D

[Dymetrie]

No worries, it's a favourite at Chateau Dimtree as well :D

Mark, here're a couple of recipes that Mrs Dym has looked up... See if they're ones you might be able to manage :)

Thanks Dym. Second one is at my level. Ingredient preparation is where I struggle.

Bacon, Broccoli and blue cheese soup?

[Feek]

Went to the butchers and bought two chicken breasts and some bacon.

I have two spiky packages!

The oven is currently warming :)

[Dymetrie]

Looks good, lad :)

I anticipate the photos of the awesome result when they come out of the oven and are served up :D

[Feek]

Sadly no cooked picture, suffice it to say that there was practically no fat in the bottom of the dish and they were incredibly filling and really flavoursome.

So that's two slices of the cheese used, what's next? :D

Send some to me tbh.
