Cheese fried with tomatoes

If you are thinking about opening a bottle of white or rose wine then an ideal snack to go with a glass or two is Queso Frito con Tomate.

What you need to do is get some good goats´ cheese and grate up some tomatoes. Many British cooks aren´t used to grating tomatoes and it can be a bit of a messy business. Fry the cheese in a little olive oil and put aside. Then, in the same oil, fry the tomatoes and some thinly sliced green pepper. When everything is soft, add a bit of salt to taste and a scattering of sugar “to reduce acidity.” Then put the cheese back in, heat and serve with fresh bread.
