ROQUEFORT CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• Place 1/2 c of the cheese in a food processor. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, olive oil, vinegar, milk, brandy and cayenne. Pulse 5 or 6 times just to blend.

ROQUEFORT DRESSING

Steps:

• The night before you want to make the dressing, line a colander with a wet paper towel, stir the yogurt well, and place in the colander to drain.
• Cover with another damp paper towel, and allow to drain overnight.
• If you are a wuss, place the colander in a bowl, and let it drain in the fridge; if not, just leave it in the sink overnight.
• Yogurt just gets better when in sets at room temperature; it’s a living organism; it doesn’t like the cold any more than you do!
• The yogurt should have drained down to about 2 cups, more or less.
• If you are a purist, finely chop the scallions, parsley, white onion, and press the garlic; if not, coarsely chop them, throw them in the food processor, pulse until everything is finely chopped, scraping bowl down once, and transfer to a bowl.
• At the Magic Lamp, everything but the mayo and seasonings, went through the meat grinder, which still left a little texture.
• Combine the yogurt, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and blue cheese in a food processor, or whisk until well combined.
• Crumble the Roquefort or additional blue cheese, add to the processor, and pulse a couple more times, or finely crumble, and whisk into the mixture.
• Add seasonings, and pulse or whisk until incorporated.
• Allow to set for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to develop, taste, and adjust any or all seasonings to taste.
• If possible, refrigerate overnight before using.
• Note: If the dressing seems to need ‘something’ after setting, I often stir in a couple splashes of balsamic vinegar.
• This is definitely not part of the original recipe.
• Who had ever even heard of balsamic vinegar in the ‘60s?
