~~ Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce~~

 A local restaurant on Cape Cod has Gorgonzola chicken which I liked so I researched the recipes and mashed up this recipe.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tsp. butter
• ½ cups heavy cream
• ¼ cup of sun dried tomatoes or an 8 ounce jar sun dried tomatoes (Drained)
• ¼ cup tomato paste
• 1 Tsp. sherry wine or white wine or vermouth or brandy (Optional)
• ¾ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (Feta or blue cheese my be substituted for the  Gorgonzola)
• 1 Shallots diced
• 1 Green Bell pepper diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat then add the cream, shallots, garlic, parsley, and pepper. Warm slowly, stirring the pan occasionally until the sauce starts to thickens
• Add a 1/2 cup of Gorgonzola cheese stir until the cheeses has melted and sauce is creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the sherry and stir.
• Add the rest of the Gorgonzola cheese over the top of the meat.

Can be used on a variety of meats (chicken, pork, and steak) or seafoods (lobster or shrimp) and it can also be used over pasta for a creamy cheese sauce.

Options:

For a fiery sauce add a few dried spicy hot Calabrian Diavoletti Rossi chopped (Warning: these are HOT) and substitute Jalapeno pepper for the Bell peppers.
