Set a pot with the vegetable broth on medium-low heat.

14
Let wine evaporate and add broth.
15
Cook until liquid is mostly absorbed, stirring occasionally, around 1520 minutes until soft but not mushy.

Dice the blue cheese, grate Parmesan and roughly chop the toasted walnuts.

Add to the skillet.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
