Ay Carumba!
Easy Mexican madness, but a little heavy on the chillies!
- Quesadillas
We had half a packet of fajhitas in the freezer and prosciutto was half price in Somerfields. It seemed only right that we dived into Nigellas recipe for Mexican Cheese Toasties with suitable enthusiasm. Generally these were a hit but Nigella used three whole slices of pickled Jalapeño in each and that was just too much for me. I wanted to taste the ham, the huge volume of coriander. My only other complaint was that, as these seemed a lot like snack food, we ate them very fast and then suffered for it! Also…it did fill the kitchen with smoke, but we don’t have a decent extractor.
Damn those look good!
Those were good. ;-)
That’s what we had for supper tonight, more or less. Coriander (cilantro, as the leaves are called here) grows like a weed in summer but costs dearly in winter so it was sadly absent.
