The Gorgonzola's rich, creamy texture offers a nice counterpoint to the crunchy, selenium-packed nuts. Briefly steaming the beans rather than boiling retains their vitamin C and B6 content. Ingredients 2 pounds green beans, stem ends trimmed 2 tablespoons nut oil, such as hazelnut, almond, or walnut 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar Coarse salt and ground pepper 2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup) ½ cup roasted blanched hazelnuts, coarsely chopped Directions Steam green beans until crisp-tender, 4 to 8 minutes.
