what are some good Pecorino Romano combinations?  (see food intolerances inside, please) [closed] - Chocolates and Muffins on Purple Surface

I bought this cheese thinking I'd be able to eat it straight, and I like the smell, but I can't stand the taste.

So I'm thinking I should use combine it with something else.

One combo that I thought of is swiss-chard and the cheese. And now that I know about this combo, I can try them in meatballs, or maybe make a pesto to eat with a steak.

Do you know any other swiss-chard combination? The only other ones I can think of involve pasta or other things I can't eat:

  • Grains (pasta, bread, rice, etc...)
  • Legumes (beans, chickpeas, soy, etc...)
  • Nightshades (tomato, peppers, and eggplant)

Sorry about all the details, but that's why I'm stumped, given that most uses for this cheese seem to involve the things I can't eat.

Thanks for your help.
