13/09 NARCO NACHOS
Apologies for my absence. This is generally the feeling after August leaves us be. The Leo season is over. Parties have all but ceased. The chance for recuperation. As the main perpetrator of the hangover, I must also apologise.
This recipe is a culinary token of my gratitude to those who held me up and kept me going through the month. Week after week and weekend after weekend. It's hard to remember details, but then all come floating back like the embers of a fire returning to earth. These punchy nachos will help you through recovery and kick you back into life.
1 Packet Nachos (chilli flavour)
1 Jar Salsa (spiciness to taste)
200ml Sour Cream
1/2 Onion
4 Tomatos (diced)
1 buffalo Mozzarella
What I did - Oven preheated to 200 OR grill on high
While Nachos theoretically are a 1-2-3 kind of recipe. This steps it up a level, but nothing too strenuous. Firstly empty the packet of corn-chips (i find that mildly flavoured ones boost the excitement) into a wide raised dish so that they sit about 3-4cm thick.
Empty the jar of salsa on top of the chips, spread around but leave a ridge of chips around the rim. On top of this scatter the diced tomatoes over the whole dish. On top of this grate the gooey mozzarella into the peak of this corn chip mountain.
Grill or bake the dish until the mozzarella is blistered and the visible chips are on the verge or charred. Mix the finely dived onion with the sour cream and dollop as the cooling summit of this spicy hot volcano. Eat with your fingers and a cold beer. Recovery. Your brain will catch up soon.
