 Ingredients

                     - 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
                     - 1/3 lb. (or 150g) Cabrales, crumbled
                     - 1/4 lb. (or 100g) cream cheese
                     - 20 loose grapes (about 2 ounces or 1/2 pound - or 250g. with stems)
 

Preparation

In a preheated 325º F (~160ºC) oven toast the walnuts for 7 to 9 minutes or until lightly golden.

Cream together the Cabrales and the cream cheese until the mixture is smooth.

Put one tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the palm of one hand and in it roll a grape, shaping the mixture around the grape to coat it. Coat the remaining grapes in the same manner and chill them on a sheet pan for 15 minutes.

Roll the cheese coated grapes in the walnut mixture to coat them completely and chill for 30 minutes or until the coating is firm. Using a sharp knife, cut in half and serve immediately. Makes about 40 coated grapes.
