Wine & Dip Episode 7: Queso Fundido & Rioja

• total waktu: 10 minutes

Bahan-bahan

2 tablespoons of butter

1 shallot, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, pressed

½ cup lager (I used Coors light, because we have a neverending Costco pack of it)

2 cups of grated manchego (or 1 cup Manchego + 1 cup cheddar)

1 tbsp flour (to coat the cheese)

½-¾ cup chopped chorizo sausage

¼ cup chopped Poblano pepper

½-¾ cup mild or medium salsa

Petunjuk

Heat a 6-9 inch skillet over low-medium heat. Add butter and melt.

Add shallot and garlic and let soften for ~10 minutes, stirring regularly to make sure it doesn’t burn.

While the shallots/garlic are softening, grate your cheese. Add flour to grated cheese and toss to coat.

Add lager to your skillet to deglaze and then start adding cheese in batches, whisking as you go for a silky smooth gooey texture.

Once your cheese is nice and melty, top with chorizo, peppers, and salsa (or any of your preferred toppings). Serve immediately with tortilla chips and of course, RIOJA!

Cheers!
