Stilton and Walnut Quesadillas with Apple Fig Salsa
These delicious shapes use so many of the flavours, such as California walnuts, complimentary to the bold taste of Stilton.
Ingredients
- 3 oz/75 g crumbled Stilton
- 2 oz/50 g California walnuts, toasted and chopped
- Half a large Golden Delicious apple, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch dice
- 2 oz/50 g dried figs
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- four 6 - 7 inch flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200C or gas mark 8
2. In a bowl stir together apple, figs, and lemon juice to form the salsa.
3. Put 2 tortillas on a baking sheet and brush with some oil. Turn tortillas over. Sprinkle tortillas with walnuts and Stilton and cover with remaining 2 tortillas, pressing gently.
4. Brush tops with remaining oil and bake in middle of oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Cut into wedges and top each wedge with a spoonful of the salsa.
