Description

If Cabrales is difficult to find in your area, it can be ordered on-line from tienda.com. Italian Gorgonzola can also be substituted. Serve the onions and the Roasted Red Peppers with Garlic with plenty of crusty bread. What to drink: Albariño. This fragrant Spanish white varietal is a smooth match with the starters and the red snapper baked in salt.

Ingredients

4 large Vidalia or other sweet onions, cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup olive oil
4 ounces Cabrales or other strong blue cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar
1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange onions in single layer on rimmed baking sheet; drizzle 1/4 cup olive oil over; turn onions to coat. Sprinkle with salt. Roast until soft and brown on edges, turning every 15 minutes, about 1 hour. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cool. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.)
  2. Sprinkle cheese over onions. Drizzle 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, then vinegar over cheese and onions. Sprinkle with almonds, then chives and serve.
