Nachos! They’re an easy assemblage and an awesome snack. I’ve teamed up with tortillas with spirit brand Manomasa to create some recipes to help you best enjoy your next crunch time. Here’s my latest creation: tortilla chips with Manchego, anchovies, almonds, and olives.
TORTILLA CHIPS WITH MANCHEGO, ANCHOVIES, ALMONDS, AND OLIVES Yum
Ingredients (served as a canapé, there should be enough for 6-8 people)
- 100g of thinly sliced Manchego;
- 4-6 finely chopped anchovy fillets (that have been tinned in olive oil);
- 50g flaked almonds;
- 15-20 pitted and chopped green olives;
- About half a bag of Manomasa Manchego & Green Olive tortilla chips.
Method
- Preheat your oven to 150ºC;
- Place your chips in a baking tray;
- Add a thin strip of Manchego to each chip;
- Put the tray in the oven and cook until the cheese starts to melt;
- These chips can burn easily; so pay attention and reduce or turn off the heat once the cheese has melted;
- While the tray is in the oven, thoroughly mix the anchovies, almonds, and olives in a bowl;
- Remove the chips and dab a small spoonful of the mix across the top of each chip;
Serve
These treats are great whether eaten when hot and melty straight from the oven or served cool. They’re a perfect accompaniment to an aperitifs such as a dry sherry or Martini and work really well as a crunchy side item paired with a green salad.
Tortillas with Spirit
Manomasa was born on the back streets of Mexico and pays tribute to the original tortilla chip – the totopo – whilst branching out into new tastes, sensations and textures inspired by the diversity and creativity of street food culture. Each variety of Manomasa tortillas has a distinctive shape, allowing you to snack, scoop or dip with them. Along with a variety of exciting textures (owing to the super-seeds used, such as sunflower, linseed and caraway for extra depth and bite), delicious flavour combinations have been used, leaving you with a unique snacking experience.
