My favorite spanish cheeses with food and wine pairings.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 spanish cheeses
- 3 red bell peppers
- 3 T olive oil
- 3 T balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper
- Slow-roasted tomatoes
- Spanish olives
- Marcona almonds
- Dried chorizo sausage, sliced
- Sliced rustic bread or crackers
Instructions
- Set your cheeses out at room temperature about three hours before serving.
- Seed and remove internal membrane from red peppers and slice into long strips, about 1/4″ wide. Put olive oil and vinegar in a skillet on medium heat. Add pepper strips, stir to coat. Reduce heat to low and cook until peppers are very soft and begin to caramelize around the edges, stirring periodically. This will take about 45-50 minutes.
- Place cheeses on a serving platter and surround with melted peppers, slow-roasted tomatoes, olives, marcona almonds and dried chorizo.
