As anticipated we made Andrea Beaman’s recipe this weekend. Tatyana Ladd-Thomas, my wife added some shaved almonds and subbed the red tomato with small diced yellow, cherry tomatoes.
This was simple and a wonderful change that deserves the 5 minutes it took to prepare. The toughest part was finding the Manchego cheese in rural GA.
Thanks Andrea, it was delicious.
BTW, we did wash it down with a little Riesling, as well.
