You will DEFINITELY want to make these little bad boys for your next get together.
These are quite possibly the tastiest and easiest h'orderves I have ever tried. They take no special technique, which makes someone like myself (AKA someone who abhors anything requiring fine motor skills) able to do these.
Shoot, if you can finger paint you can make these -- they are that simple.
First, you need four ingredients:
Three pears, creamy bleu cheese, prosciutto, and arugula. Turkey bacon works, too, if you don't like prosciutto. You just need to cook it first, but the rest of the instructions are the same.
Cut the pears into eight wedges. Smear cheese on top. Layer two to three pieces of arugula. Wrap in your meat.
Ta-da!
I told you it was simple ;)
**If you are making them in advance, toss the sliced pears in fresh lemon juice before hand so they don't brown.
I found another great thing about Christmas break: the fact that I can take pictures when their is sunshine outside! Finally I can do real pictures. Sure, I may have looked like a fool walking to the park carrying a plate of h'orderves, a bowl of arugula, a pear, and a camera slung over my shoulder... not to mention my beautiful outfit of sweaty gym clothes and a post-Zumba hair-do. Whatever. I walked with my head held high knowing I would get some good pictures that my little apartment could not provide -- and I offered an h'orderve to anybody staring at me. That shut it down real quick ;)

i've wrapped pears in prosciutto before, but adding bleu cheese and arugula sounds DIVINE.

ReplyDeleteOf course! I thought they were a little more fancy than normal Super Bowl food, but who cares? They are "skinny", easy, and SO INCREDIBLY yummy!
