Life has become all about what TFM Corporate wants sampled. However, I still put my spin on it if I feel a recipe falls flat. This weekend I prepared a Blue Cheese - Horseradish Spread to go with flank steak.
My Version:
Blue Cheese –
Horseradish Spread
17.
6 oz. container Fage Total (Greek yogurt)
8
oz. blue cheese crumbles
¼
c. Stonewall Kitchen Horseradish Aioli
½
tsp. salt
Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until
thoroughly blended.
Customers enjoyed this recipe with a deliciously tender flank steak. A nice balance of blue cheese and horseradish. Aside from "delicious", comments included, "the bomb", and "amazing". It paired perfectly with Bogle Phantom Chardonnay. This is a definite must try.
TFM Corporate:
Blue Cheese –
Horseradish Spread
17.
6 oz. container Fage Total (Greek yogurt)
5 oz. blue cheese crumbles
2 Tbl. Stonewall Kitchen Horseradish Aioli
½
tsp. salt
Place all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until
thoroughly blended.
Customers never sampled this recipe as I felt it tasted too much like Greek yogurt with very little blue cheese flavor and no horseradish notes. Sorry, but I don't want yogurt flavor with my flank steak.
About a month ago TFM Corporate's sampling was grape themed. The only recipe worth posting was TFM's Fresh Grape Salsa.
Fresh Grape Salsa
1½ lbs.
red seedless grapes, washed, de-stemmed and quartered
½
clamshell fresh mint, finely chopped
½ small
red onion, finely chopped
1 Tbl.
TFM red wine vinegar
½ - 1
Tbl. agave syrup
Salt
and pepper to taste
Combine
all ingredients and chill at least one hour.
Serve
over goat cheese with TFM French Rounds or your favorite cracker.
Definitely a customer favorite. Customers were amazed they enjoyed grapes in a salsa. Perfect over goat cheese.
