Spring Greens with Blue Cheese recipe
A tasty vegetarian recipe for Spring Greens with Blue Cheese - lovely for a lunchtime snack

Ingredients

4 cups of spring greens, sliced (spinach, swiss chard or white cabbage)
25-50g Gorgonzola or similar blue cheese (depending on how cheesy you like it)
4 Tbsp double cream
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Wash the spring greens thoroughly and slice them into 1cm strips. Keep the thicker pieces of stem and centre spine to one side.

Bring a small pot of water to the boil and place a steamer over it. Place the pieces of stem and spine in the steamer, covered, for about 2 minutes on their own before adding the leaves. Steam for about 5 minutes in total, until the leaves and stems are wilted and softening but not soggy.

In the meanwhile, warm a large bowl. Remove the greens from the steamer to the warmed bowl. Crumble the blue cheese over the greens, add the cream and stir to mix until the cheese has all melted.

Check for seasoning and add salt and black pepper to taste - go easy on the salt as the cheese itself is salty. Serve hot.

Servings

Serves 2-3
