I’m sure one could come up with a catchier name, but considering I had just had some leftover potato mash and zero plan how to do this, it worked out pretty well. Combine with flour, egg and cheese, bread, fry until golden brown. Served with guacamole.
The good thing about melty cheese is that it’s versatile. In this case it did a good job of melting into all the nooks and crannies of the roasted broccoli to make for a satisfying sandwich.
I heard of a dish where you throw a bunch of cheese in a pot and keep it melted just right so you can dunk pieces of bread in it. Sounds simple enough? Alas, certainly not! You see, the cheese must be kept in a precarious equilibrium of heat, liquid and the other ingredients. A little bit too much or too little of anything, and you’ll end up with some rubbery cheese goo or a split oily mess of a sauce. I think I’m getting the hang of it though. And side note, kimchi mac and cheese is delicious.
I was getting a bit sick and needed something hearty, so I cooked up some potatoes and kale with spices, onions and beef stock to make a nice soup to warm me up.
There certainly can be a fate worse than eating pho for leftovers.
Travel well Quique, you magnificent Spaniard.
This time around I made a sauce from the pork drippings to pour over the rice after crisping it up in the pan, and it’s definitely getting somewhere! Having something flavorful soak into the rice elevates the dish and makes the crispy bits contrast nicely to the rest.
Focaccia is fun. It’s essentially bread dough that’s so wet it just plops and settles into a baking sheet. Just make sure you help to lubricate it with the best extra vergine olive oil you can find. Plenty of it.
Spareribs, slow roasted and then brushed with mustard and pepper until until they are both fall-apart tender and nicely browned. Yum.
Something different to do with leftover rice. Fried with some leftover pork fat until the bottom is nice and crispy. It’s a start, but what this really needs is some sauce to soak into the rice and balance everything out. Must investigate further.
