Best Veggies With Hollandaise Sauce And Blue Cheese Recipes

VEGGIES WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size, cook in boiling salted water.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, fry the bacon bits then add the pine nuts and sauté them until just golden.
• Make up the sauce as directed and stir in three quarters of the blue cheese.
• Once potatoes are cooked, drain and add to the pan with the butter and the the spinach, stirring constantly to just wilt the spinach.
• Quarter the eggs, add to the spinach mixture with the remaining blue cheese, crumbled.
• Then divide between four individual dishes or place in a large serving dish. Pour the sauce over the top and serve.

PASTA WITH VEGETABLES AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Chop onion.
• Heat large nonstick pot until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high, and add oil.
• Add onion, and cook until it begins to soften.
• Mince garlic, and add.
• Bring water to boil in covered pot for pasta.
• Using thin slicing blade of a food processor, slice carrots. Stir into onion and garlic along with thyme.
• Wash asparagus. Break off and discard tough, woody part of stalks. Add to onion and carrot pot.
• Wash, trim and slice mushrooms; wash and trim tomato, and cut into small chunks. Add mushrooms and tomatoes to vegetable pot; stir well, cover and continue cooking over medium-low heat.
• Cook pasta.
• Stir a little of the yogurt into the cornstarch to make a smooth paste. Stir the paste into the remaining yogurt, and mash in the blue cheese. When vegetables are tender, add in the yogurt mixture, and stir until the sauce is smooth and the blue cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the pasta, and top with sauce.

STEAMED VEGETABLES WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. In a blender, place the yolks, salt, mustard, lemon juice, and tabasco.
• 2. Blend for about 5 seconds. Then, while blender is turned on, pour in the butter, which should be good and hot. (the temperature of the butter is the secret to this - make it very hot, taking care not to let it burn, and the hollandaise will thicken right away).
• 3. Heat sauce for a minute in the microwave or in a pan on the stove top. If you heat it on top of the stove, stir it constantly so that it doesn't burn. Pour over top of vegetables and/or the meat you might be serving with this. (The best thing, in my opinion, is to serve the sauce on the side in a bowl with a spoon. Let each person spoon however much they would like to have over their vegetables.)

VEGETABLE SAUTE WITH BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Fry bacon in a large skillet, until soft, but not done.
• Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil.
• Add the cauliflower, cook for one minute.
• Add the green beans, cook for an additional minute.
• Drain the vegetables, set aside.
• If the bacon is very lean, and hasn't rendered enough fat to saute the vegetables, add up to a 1/2 teaspoon of butter.
• Add the shallots, beans, and cauliflower, toss to coat with the fat.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Continue to cook the vegetables just until they start to show some color and are tender enough to pierce with a knife.
• Remove to a serving dish, and top with the blue chese.
