Cheddar Cheese in Uruguay
Mahalo Chicos,
I miss cheddar cheese, the sharp flavor that adds the perfect touch to my veggie burgers and home made mac and cheese. You can find Uruguay’s version of cheddar cheese at Disc Super Mercado in Punt Caretas Mall. If you know how cheddar cheese is suppose to taste like you may probably think Uruguay’s version can use a little bit more umph! But if you are desperate for variety and cheddar than it might appease your tastes buds.
Ciao,
Caprese Salad in Uruguay
Mahalo Chicos,
As I slowly sip on my yerbra mate, I contemplate on what recipe I should post up next and what came to mind was a simple caprese salad. Its really easy to create and taste delicious -when using the right ingredients-.
My other half enjoys it when I’d prepare this dish. In fact he really likes it on pizza. Maybe that is what Ill make another time. Till then, here is my caprese dish.
Serves: Up to four people
Prep Time: No less than five minutes
Cook Time: None
What you’ll need and do:
1. 1 whole fresh tomato, washed and cut in to circles -about less than an inch think- and fresh Basil.
2. 1/2 whole milk buffalo mozzarella thing sliced into circles
3. Good quality extra virgin olive oil
4. Good quality balsamic vinegar
5. Freshly ground sea salt and black pepper corns.
6. To prepare, spread a bit of extra virgin olive on your serving dish than add a drizzle of your balsamic vinegar. Place your tomatoes on-top of your prepped serving dish, place one sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the tomato, place a leaf of fresh basil, than drizzle some oil, add the salt and pepper then drizzle the balsamic vinegar. Repeat until you’ve used all of your tomatoes and cheese. Serve right away.
Enjoy.
