Queso

by Irene Lindvall


I got this recipe from Tillamook Cheese when they visited our local grocery store year and a half ago. It turns out the recipe is from Top Chef season 5 winner Hosea Rosenberg. I love Top Chef. A lot. I admire all of the contestants on the show and could never imagine cooking a meal for world class chefs. That said, I'm happy to try any of their recipes knowing it'll be delicious. This queso is no exception. I decided to serve it with chips and chili (the leftover from last week's great dish). Chips, chili, queso, green onions - in that order. It was delicious and there were definitely no complaints. 

Things I learned from this recipe:

Never underestimate how much queso you can eat.

I recently learned how to keep and store cilantro. It likes to be kept like a bouquet of flowers, in a jar with water, and you can cover it with a plastic bag and pop it in the refrigerator and it should keep for around two weeks. I'm on day five and I've changed the water once, pulled out the old leaves and the rest looks brand new.

Would I make this recipe again?:

Yes
