4 Manchego Cheese Recipes To Try This Weekend
One of the most delicious Spanish cheeses you can buy has to be Manchego, a very rich and creamy sheep’s milk cheese that comes from the La Mancha region. It has a distinct nutty flavour and is a beautiful rich golden colour, available in three different stages – fresh, two to four months old or matured for a year.
There are all sorts of lovely recipes you could try using this particular cheese, but we’ve scouted out some of our favourites to help you get cracking in the kitchen this weekend. Enjoy!
Want something savoury to snack on this Sunday? These are incredibly moreish so you’ll keep going back for more… perhaps don’t fill up on the Sunday roast as you’re sure to want a bit of room for these.
If you’re always after a quick midweek meal, shakshuka is the way to go and we’re big fans of giving it a bit of a Spanish twist. While the dish comes from Tunisia originally, chuck in spices like smoked paprika and cumin, and a bit of Manchego cheese to finish it off, and you’ve got yourself a lovely Spanish supper.
Pushed for time but still want to try out this yummy Spanish cheese? Rarebit doesn’t take long to make and it’s both hearty and filling, so perfect for this time of year. A quick bite to eat that the whole family will love.
