Italian Food Recipes

In this Italian recipe the spicy taste of the Italian cheese Gorgonzola and the sweet taste of the pears and potatoes are joined in order to obtain a delicious second course. In addition what I like of this recipe is the match of the crunch consistency of the potatoes fritters with that soft of the Gorgonzola and the pears. To prepare this dish use yellow potatoes, Gorgonzola of medium ages, that is a blue veined Italian cheese, and the type of pears called Abate, that are sweet and.

INGREDIENTS (for 4 people):
4 Potatoes
120 g of Gorgonzola (Italian cheese)
2 Pears
4 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
20 g of Butter

PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes

WINE: Colli Morenici Mantovani del Garda bianco Doc (White Wine)

PREPARATION
Preheat the extra virgin olive oil and the butter in a small pan. Clean and peel the potatoes, cut them as thin matches.

Fry a small quantity of them as shown in the picture and try to form a sort of fritter of potatoes.

Proceed in this way until you obtain other 7 fritters of potatoes. Then clean, peel the pears divide them in half and place them in a pan with some rosemary, cook them for about 5 minutes in order to let them golden.

When the fritters are ready prepare the dish.
Place 1 fritters on the dish, put over it 30 g of the Italian cheese Gorgonzola,

This is the result:
