The boom in
Venezuelan food
hit hard in Argentina.
So much so that tequeños are already part of many menus.
I like them so much that one day I told myself: “I have to make them.”
There I discovered that although they can be made with other cheese,
the real ones are made with llanero cheese.
It has a
firm consistency but is easy to handle
.
The main feature is that it does not melt like mozzarella sticks.
The result is a warm, soft cheese
that does not “fall apart” completely.
The flavor is mild and quite neutral
so it is great to accompany them with tomato sauce, aioli, some vegetable mayonnaise or dressings. They can be eaten
fried with the original recipe
but they can also be baked for a lighter version.
Great week for everyone!

Peach, arugula and feta cheese salad.
Fruits look great in salads, I especially love the combination with arugula.
The wilder it is, the better as it is spicy and counteracts with the sweetness of the peach.

Curried steaks.
Curried steaks by Blanca Cotta.
Don't imagine a heavy plate.
They are beef steaks bathed in a curry sauce, broth, onion and cream that you can replace with cream or white cheese.
As always when we make a recipe with a predominant flavor, it is recommended that the garnish be neutral, such as white rice or boiled potatoes.
