Рецепт Easy Grape & Gorgonzola Topping Recipe for Chicken, Pork or Crostini
This 3-ingredient topping of grilled grapes and Gorgonzola cheese works beautifully over grilled meat or on toasted slices of bread.
I can tell that you are giving me a strange look, one that clearly says, “Grilled grapes?! What is she thinking?” This is one of those “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it” types of recipes. When seared on the grill, the skins of the grapes begin to char and burst open, releasing a smoky aroma and a trickle of sweet juice. Toss the fruit with Gorgonzola cheese for a salty, distinctive tinge of flavor.
If grilling chicken or pork tenderloin is your thing, but you are tired of your usual preparation, this topping will spice things up. Alternatively, spread the Gorgonzola cheese on toasted or grilled slices of baguette and top each slice with a few grilled grapes.
When I first considered making this recipe, I planned to thread the individual grapes onto skewers, which would have taken a day and a half. Okay, not really, but it certainly would have tried my patience.
Instead, I discovered that the grapes can be cut into clusters of approximately six grapes, tossed with canola oil and laid directly on a hot grill. Three to four minutes later, the grapes are done and sanity is still intact.
Be sure to let the grapes cool before tossing them with the Gorgonzola cheese, otherwise the cheese will melt and you will be left with a gooey mess. About 10 minutes in the freezer should do the trick.
The recipe:
Preheat the grill to high heat.
Place the grape clusters in a bowl and gently toss with the canola oil.
Place the grape clusters on the grill and cook until the grapes are starting to blacken and the skins are beginning to burst, about 2 minutes per side.
Once the grapes are cool enough to handle, remove them from the stems and place the grapes in a bowl. Place the grapes in the fridge or freezer to cool slightly (otherwise the cheese will melt when added).
Gently stir the Gorgonzola cheese into the grapes. Serve the topping over chicken, pork or toasted baguette slices.
