FARFALLE WITH ASPARAGUS, RED ONION, WALNUTS & BLUE CHEESE



Farfalle With Asparagus, Red Onion, Walnuts & Blue Cheese image

My girlfriend from Long Island,NY passed this recipe along to me. It was from "Newsday", her local newspaper. I would suggest following the recipe as written. I have used pinenuts & vidalia onions and the flavors fell flat. UPDATE 10/10, I have made it twice now, using walnuts and red onions makes a huge difference. I like adding the red pepper flakes for kick!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces farfalle pasta, small to medium in size bow tie any shaped pasta will work beautifully
1 lb asparagus, trim off tough ends, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cups red onions, chopped
1 cup walnuts, halved, toasted
1/2 cup blue cheese, substitute Gorgonzola for a bolder flavor
sea salt, to taste
ground pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in plenty of salted boiling water according to the package directions. Three (3) minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, over medium heat, toast the walnuts in a large dry skillet until they are aromatic and lightly browned. CAREFUL not to burn. About 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Once cooled, either leave halved or do a rough chop but leave some big pieces.
  • Over medium heat, heat 2 T of olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook until onion is softened and translucent, about 7-9 minutes. I prefer to cook longer until they are caramelized.
  • Toss the pasta & asparagus with the onion, walnuts and blue cheese. Stir in remaining 1T olive oil. Add salt & pepper, to taste.

CARAMELIZED ONION & BLUE CHEESE PUFF PASTRY TARTS RECIPE



Caramelized Onion & Blue Cheese Puff Pastry Tarts Recipe image

Provided by charlotteh371

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package puff pastry (thawed in the fridge overnight)
4 large yellow onions (halved, then thinly sliced)
2 teaspoons butter
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon dry white wine
Kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
1 egg + 1 teaspoon water, beaten
3/4 cup fig jam
5 oz. blue cheese (crumbled)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
honey for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add onions and and stir to coat in oil. Grab a glass of wine and a magazine and plop yourself in front of the stove because you are going to be here for a while. You will cook the onions for 60 minutes total, stirring every 4-5 minutes or so. After they've cooked for 10 minutes add a pinch of salt. After they've cooked for 40 minutes add a teaspoon of sugar. After they've finished cooking for 60 minutes and are a gorgeous dark brown color, deglaze the pan with the white wine, season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unwrap the puff pastry and cut along the seams of each sheet, creating 6 rectangles total. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each piece into a 3.5″ x 12″ rectangle. Use a 3″ cookie cutter to make four tarts out of each rectangle. Transfer tarts to (2) parchment lined baking sheets. Combine puff pastry scraps into a ball, roll them out to the same thickness as your previous tarts and use the cookie cutter to make 10-12 more tarts. Arrange tarts on the two baking sheets about an inch apart. You will have 30-32 tarts total. Use a 2″ cookie cutter to score each tart in the center, creating a half inch wide crust. Brush the crust portion of the tart with the egg wash. Heat fig jam in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it becomes loose and spreadable. Spread a teaspoon or so of fig jam in the center of each tart. Top that with a teaspoon or so of caramelized onions. And then, you guessed it, top that with a teaspoon or so of blue cheese. Divide thyme evenly between the tarts, sprinkling a few leaves in the center of each tart. Bake tarts for 15-18 minutes or until the crust starts to get dark golden brown Remove tarts from the oven and drizzle with honey. Serve warm and enjoy! NOTES These tarts are also delicious at room temperature!

  • Marinate the tofu: Marinating the tofu in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger adds flavor and helps to tenderize it.
  • Cook the tofu properly: Pan-frying the tofu over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside is the best way to cook it.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Red onions, walnuts, and blue cheese are just a few of the many toppings that can be used for this dish. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.

Conclusion:

This tofu recipe is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
