Cheese Gromitt

[Zigs]

Here's a recipe to try if you have too many friends, it should also appeal to Chesters' apparent Scottish ancestry as you really do need very little, it's from the Basgue region and it's called "Queso Viejo" which more or less means *Old cheese*.

 

I didn't have any soft sheep's cheese when I made it so I just used a mixture of goat and cow (both were a cream cheese).

 

 

Take two tablespoons of sheep's cheese. Mash three cloves of garlic. Mix cheese and garlic with a spoon of (extra virgin) olive oil in a mortar and pestle until mushy. Put it in a little crockery container with a piece of linen on top secured with string. Leave it for two weeks in a cool dry cupboard. It goes hard-ish. Then eat it (tiny amounts, spread thin!) on small pieces of toast, or crackers or whatever, with a glass of good red wine. It's explosive, and makes makes you stink, but it is absolutely gorgeous, one of those treats that perks you up no end.

I've been wondering what that smell was for the last couple of days.

 

I've got a nice bit of Blue Vinney coming up for supper tonight.

 

There'll be Cream Cracker crumbs in bed again; (someone has to do it! )
