Plums are the BSI (blogger secret ingredient) hosted by Lauren at Healthy . Delicious and believe it or not this idea popped in my head immediately.
Why wouldnt a 'carpaccio' of plums with lime zest extra virgin olive oil and home made blue cheese taste stupendous? Fruit and cheese are born to go together! (as for the blue cheese, the smaller one needed 'testing' and the test came out positive)
The recipe is more of a preparation and its oh so simple: Thin slices of plum arranged as you like them with little chunks of blue cheese scattered about then its all drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lime.
How simple is that? I submit this as my entry to BSI: Plums.

Luv the presentation. Plum carpaccio? Great for me non-beef eater, haha.
Stunning! It looks like it might even belong on the cruise buffet ... yet tastes far better I'm sure. Love it!
That is gorgeous! And I am just imagining the flavor profile on my tongue.

Christo, are you a trained chef? I wonder what's your profession?
And you still haven't figured out how to add the code?

it really does look like cruise presentation!
Beautiful presentation! Very nice entry!
As has been said before, a beautiful dish . I'm glad I missed this week's BSI because I certainly could not have competed.
What gorgeous presentation! Love this idea.
Wow! Isn't simple always the best? And so European :-) to serve the fruitiest fruit with cheese and this combo is amazing! Beautiful, too.
angie: Good to hear that...I am not a 'trained' chef and as for profession - well I have been putting 'self employed artist' since 1978...does that help?
snugs: is that a good thing or a bad thing?
ungourmet: thanks
cucinista: but the nice thing about BSI is that its a participation thing more than a contest - I am sure you would have made a great dish!
jennymac: thanks and I raise a glass to your birthday...
jamie: how very 'continental' of you to say that..thanks
I've got to use the special word today(I only use it once in a while!) "elegant"....
Grew up in a neighborhood with a few plum trees- they taste better if you steal them!
Simple and classy. I like how beautifully you've presented this.
Looks beautiful and sounds wonderful! Love the presentation.
Great sounding combination! I have to try this.
what a sophisticated idea! I would have never thought of it!
I loved that your curled them into little rosettes...adorable!
I'm so impressed, this looks amazing, and the blue cheese is the perfect compliment!
WHOA! just gorgeous!
Amazing...
goregous!
I just popped over from BSI to tell you how spectacular this entry is. You have a wonderful site. I'll be back often.
I don't know how I could have missed this last year except I think I was on vacation. Thanks for leaving the comment on my nectarine tart post and giving me the chance to find this. I think there is a plum tart in my future, based on your beautiful plum carpaccio dish.
linda: this was also published in a carribean life magazine this january - it created a little stir when I first did it...
