Stilton And Grape Avocados Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high and oil grates. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper.
• In a small blender or food processor, combine vinegar, shallot, mustard and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and purée until smooth. Grill steak until it reaches 130°F; for medium-rare this is about 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine watercress, salt and pepper and enough dressing to coat.
• Thinly slice steak across the grain and transfer to a platter. Top with watercress, stilton and grapes and serve with additional dressing.

Steps:

• Use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to snip the bacon crossways into fat matchsticks. Heat a small, dry frying pan on a medium heat and add the bacon. Cook for about 10 mins, until the fat has run and the bacon is crisp.
• To make the dressing, reduce the heat in the pan to low and stir in 1 tbsp water, then the vinegar, honey and mustard. Stir well, scraping up any residue on the base of the pan. Stir in the oil, taste and season.
• Meanwhile, heat a ridged griddle pan or grill and cook the pears for about 5 mins on each side, until browned. Place in a bowl and mix with the cubes of cheese (this melts the cheese a little, making it nice and squidgy). Tip the spinach into a serving bowl, and scatter the cheese and pear mixture over. Top with the warm bacon dressing and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Scoop the flesh from the avocados, chop and mix with lemon juice.
• In a bowl mix the Stilton, grape halves, pepper and sour cream with avocado.
• Spoon the mixture back into avocado shells, and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
• Garnish with grapes.
• Refrigerate if being prepared in advance.
