--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2  bottle        inexpensive port wine - -- (abt 16 oz)
   2      tablespoons   unsalted butter
     1/2  cup           walnut halves
     1/2  teaspoon      cayenne pepper
     1/2  teaspoon      freshly-ground black pepper
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   2      teaspoons     sugar
     1/2  pound         sweet gorgonzola cheese

Preparation:

In a 2-quart saucepan bring the port wine to a boil and reduce it to about 1/2 cup thick syrup. Allow to cool. The liquid may even thicken some more. This is fine. In a small sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter is liquid, add the walnut halves, cayenne, pepper, salt, sugar and sauté until well coated and lightly toasted about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool. To serve, divide the gorgonzola evenly among 4 plates. Sprinkle equal amounts of walnuts over each portion of cheese. Using a tablespoon, drizzle a pretty design of port syrup over the cheese and the plate. Enjoy! Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5624)
