Roquefort cheese is a type of blue cheese that originates from France. It is made from sheep’s milk and has a creamy, crumbly texture and a sharp, tangy flavor. Roquefort cheese is often used in salads, dressings, pasta dishes, quiches, or as a stuffing. Here are some recipes that you can try using Roquefort cheese:
Roquefort dressing:
This is a rich and creamy dressing that is perfect for a simple green salad. You will need mayonnaise, buttermilk, Roquefort cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Roquefort salad with warm croutons and lardons: This is a hearty and delicious salad that features crispy bread cubes, bacon bits, lettuce, radicchio, walnuts, chives, and Roquefort cheese. You will need to toast the bread cubes in a frying pan with some oil until golden and crisp. Then fry the bacon bits until crisp and drain on paper towels. Toss the lettuce and radicchio with some olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Arrange the salad on a large platter and scatter the croutons, bacon bits, walnuts, chives, and Roquefort cheese on top.
Roquefort and walnut loaf:
This is a savory bread that is great for breakfast or as a snack. You will need strong white bread flour, salt, dried yeast, water, butter, Roquefort cheese, and walnuts. Mix the flour, salt, yeast, and water in a large bowl and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Leave to rise for an hour or until doubled in size. Knock back the dough and knead in the butter, cheese, and walnuts. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a loaf tin.
Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for another hour or until doubled in size. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
