It's probably become obvious, but we've been having some fantastic food here at la estancia.
We've had chicken in mustard sauce. The sauce was thinned with broth, and seasoned with red bell pepper and herbs and spices, and was delicious over rice.
One night we had cabbage rolls - large cabbage leaves stuffed with ground chicken and vegetables, and served with potatoes and carrots with a tomato based sauce.
We've also had these adorable little things - tomatoes stuffed with a tuna and rice salad. It was a very hot day, and this was a refreshing and yummy dinner. Note the hats on the tomatoes, and decorations of hard boiled egg slices and parsley sprigs.
One other meal was a fish casserole with a bread-ham-egg tower as a side dish. Sounds weird, but they were awesome.
The towers had a layer of breadcrumbs, then a hard boiled egg, and then topped with minced ham. The entire thing was then breaded and baked, and topped with a dollop of mayonnaise. A bite of the side tasted like a really fancy egg salad sandwich.
The fish casserole was fish, ham, and a creamy cheese sauce. It was a weird combination, but really tasty.
The whole meal was really good. Not exactly light, but good.
Any kind of food formed into a tower has to be good right?
ReplyDeleteWe've now had rice towers, spinach and squash towers, and flan towers, and they've all been delicious.
