This was wonderful, didn't have greens for salad, but was hungry for blue cheese. Served it with steamed asparagus, whole string beans, sliced zucchini, fennel and garnished with thumb tomatoes.

What do you do when you are having a dinner party with both vegans and meat-lovers invited? I made this recipe as the main course, with a vegetable stock substituted for the chicken broth. The blue cheese and thinly sliced grilled chorizo were served in side bowls for those that wanted to partake. Plenty of grilled vegetables, steaming noodles,a baby lettuce salad and a soy based coffee ice cream with ginger snaps rounded out the meal. It was fun to watch both groups bend some of their dietary restrictions and talk to each other.
