Not your typical salsa. This innovative topping is terrific with leg of lamb, or use it on endive spears or celery sticks for a party hors d'oeuvre. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons hazelnut oil or olive oil |
4 teaspoons dry mustard |
2 teaspoons ground allspice |
1/2 cup hazelnuts, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup pecan pieces |
1/2 cup slivered almonds, coarsely chopped |
1 cup chopped celery |
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese or blue cheese (about 5 1/2 ounces) |
2 tablespoons honey |
Directions:
1. Heat first 3 ingredients in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add nuts and sauté until golden, about 7 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Stir celery, cheese and honey into warm nut mixture. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.)
