I chose a strong, aged Manchego cheese, knowing it would develop even more flavor after marinating in rosemary olive oil. The result was fantastic—absolutely delicious. I kept it in the oil for over two months. If you want to see how to make it, check out this link: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/es/recetas/1085575-tacos-de-queso-manchego-a-la-pimienta-rosa

For the bread, I picked a salt-free whole grain roll that I liked. It’s made with a mix of flours and seeds: sesame, golden and brown flaxseed, sunflower seeds, and buckwheat.

The sandwich is made by rubbing a Roma tomato on the bread, drizzling with good olive oil, and adding delicious cooked ham—truly a perfect breakfast.

Ingredients

15 minutes
1 serving
  1. 1whole grain roll (salt-free)
  2. 2 slicescooked ham
  3. 1Roma tomato
  4. cubesaged Manchego cheese (marinated in rosemary olive oil)
  5. extra virgin olive oil
  6. salt

Cooking Instructions

15 minutes
  1. 1

    About three months ago, I placed a wedge of Manchego cheese, cut into cubes, in olive oil with a few sprigs of rosemary and some pink peppercorns. This is how it looked at first.

  2. 2

    After some time, the cheese changed in appearance from being stored in a cool, dark place. I was eager to try it, and today I finally did—it was amazing. I learned that it’s better to use larger cubes and pierce them with a skewer so the oil can soak in better. Next time, I’ll do that.

  3. 3

    To make the sandwich, slice the roll in half. Cut the tomato in half and rub each cut side over the bread. Sprinkle a tiny bit of salt (I usually skip it) and drizzle with a generous amount of olive oil. Place the cooked ham slices on the bottom half of the roll (these were large, clean slices). Close the sandwich.

  4. 4

    I have to mention—the cheese was incredible. It aged even more in the oil, so next time I might use a semi-aged cheese, but I really loved this one and highly recommend it.

Me encanta la cocina y cocinar, las recetas mejores son las más sencillas y las más tradicionales, debemos cocinar y publicar para que no se pierdan, tenemos esa obligación, posiblemente las vamos variando poco a poco pero es normal, la evolución es imparable, hace muchos años el marisco solo lo comían las clases media y baja, y en cambio los pollos los comía la clase alta, todo cambia, gracias a dios tenemos productos que desconocíamos hasta hace poco, hoy podemos consumir artículos fuera de temporada, tenemos un abanico más amplio para cocinar, quién ama la cocina debe preservar la herencia de nuestros ancestros, eso es amar la cocina
