Neal's Yard Stilton

[johnjohn]

I was given a one pound piece of Neal's Yard Stilton that was left over from a party the other night. Besides putting it in salads - what are some ideas to use it up. Thanks.

Puff pastry canapes, melt on top of steak, stuff into poached pears, top braised endive or radichio....

thats all I can think of

Greedily pinching little bits of it off between your fingers and slurping it up until it's all gone.

Or maybe that's just me.

You can put it in a gratin with bacon, sliced potatoes, and kale,spinach,and or collard greens.. Cover with cream..

Make a lot of blue cheese stuffed olives.. Make a blue cheese quiche.. Stuff them in little buffalo style wings and fry them.. You can freeze them if you want.. Stuff into quails is always good.. Make a blue cheese dressing of course..I have heard of stilton ice cream too!

If its the same stuff that we get from Neal's Yard in London it is Colston Bassett Stilton, the best Stilton you can find. Their own website suggests that it can be frozen successfully.

Personally I wouldn't be able to stop myself from eating the stuff.

When you get to the point where you are scraping the last bits of cheese off the rind, mash with a bit of mango chutney and spread into the hollow of a stringed strip of cucumber.

Eat.

Eat it with good bread or biscuits, a nice apple and a glass of something..

Couple of dinner parties and it will be gone

You can pot some: mash it with butter then put in a jar and cover with melted butter, Leave a while to turn into "fromage fort".

Other things not mentioned are stilton soup, or on baked potato, but these things are a shame compared to the beauty of eating such a magnificent cheese on its own.

There is no hurry. Provided its airtight it will keep, and be even beter at Christmas..

I didnt realize what a good cheese it was.. Never mind a lot of my suggestions..

Leek and Stilton soup was popular in the 70's. The outer part of the round can be used this way.

Buy some ripe comice pears, toast some walnuts, open a vintage port, and go to town!

This is one of my favourite desserts:

Stilton cheesecake

I used toasted nuts in the crust.

Last night I made a caramelized onion and stilton quesadilla. It was good, but I would of liked something to dip it in - it was somewhat dry.

Stilton soufflée.

This is a fantastic cheese, the Granddaddy of all stilton. 3 nice ways of using it would be 1) top figs with it, wrap in pancetta and grill - delicious, 2) in a salad with rocket, pea shoots and red wine poached pears and a basil vinaigrette, and a slightly unusual combination that I discovered recently 3)Lobster salad with rocket, walnuts, walnut oil and the stilton - I was dubious about this but the creamyness and strength of flavour of the stilton is offset perfectly with the texture and sweetness of the lobster. Happy eating!
