      Escalopines de ternera al cabrales

      This week I want to show you a recipe for blue cheese lovers. Specifically Cabrales. This cheese of three types of milk (goat, cow and sheep) is matured in the Caves of Cabrales, (Asturias Region), where the humidity and temperature conditions are optimal for its maturation. It has become internationally famous for the quality of its natural eatable bacterial (Penicillium) infiltration and especially for its balanced flavour. The small production of this cheese is protected by the Cabrales Designation of Origin, this makes it a very careful product throughout its production chain. Starting with the pastures where the animals are fed in semi-liberty, down to the last detail in their maturation and sale.

      There are many ways to use Cabrales cheese in the kitchen, for example in Salads or accompanied by quince, fruit and nuts.

      So I did a sauce with the blue cheese to accompanied nice fillets of Veal flank from this region.

      1. On the other hand, season the fillets. Do a little cut in the central nerve to avoid losing its shape when they are frying.
      2. Pass them through flour and egg. Coat them.
      3.  Fry them at about 170 degrees.
      4. Then, rest them on absorbent paper to dry them of oil.
