Better than a packet of potato chips!
Boquerones are Spanish styled marinated white anchovy fillets which are a lot less pungent than regular anchovy with a citrus, vinegared taste. Serve on a fresh red endive leaf, with half a grape tomato, baby basil, and a paper thin slice of garlic and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Fresh prociutto san daniele with figs – my absolute favorite
I recently got foxtel (cable tv), and even with 200 extra channels, I am still only totalling about 2 hours of TV a week, and that’s me forcing myself to watch tv… because I’m paying for it! I do however, really like the background music in the digital TV guide channel. I know, I’m insane.
how about baked figs wrapped in bacon?
@CaKaLusa - how do you eat figs, like lime or orange slices?
@OH_itsThatBoy - @CaKaLusa - Cakalusa eats figs like they way he devours girls on xanga
you’re the second person i saw this week with the proscuitto and figs. i normally just eat proscuitto alone.
i’m liking it! simplistic and still has a good depth in flavor.. great photos too!
@Amuse_Bouche - BOOYAH!
hehe i used to leave my channel on the guide when i was home alone.
i will def try out these snacks– combinations i’d never think up~
proscuitto plz, pass on the figs.
2 hours of tv/week, you must be very productive!
yum! no cooking involved? you mean i can just throw them together??!
@XDeborahZeeX - yep! only assembly is required!
omg D: this whole site is making me so hungry.
it’s as bad as tastespotting.com!! D:!!!!
are those mission figs? looks great! i’ve shown it to my chef boyfriend as ideas for his restaurant’s menu!
thanks
@misscas - I’m not sure, they’re definitely grown in Australia though – and they’re the black skinned ones, not the green skinned ones. Very sweet with floral, honey flavour.
I realised that they complement prosciutto a lot more than canteloupe!
@Amuse_Bouche - i actually enjoy prosciutto wrapped scallops cooked under a broiler…it’s the perfect ….wait for it…amuse bouche! ha!
try bruleein the figs for a snack…… mmmmm so good……. with a nubbin of bacon on it mmmmm
where can I buy good proscuittos?? so addicted to it since xmas!!
foxtel background music is awesome…hahhaa…i’m listening now!!
I’m hooked to stupid reality shows where the host says the same lines every week…
@PrInCeSs_eViLa - fishmarkets Blackwattle deli sells the bessssst Prosciutto
or Fresh Point Markets in Maroubra is good too
never buy the ones in the packet, make sure they slice it when you buy it, and that it’s the one from Italy, not the Australian one
Hi! Looking at your site makes me wanna visit Australia!
with 200 channels, there must be some sort of good foot network channel! I can never peel my eyes of the screen when they have back to back cooking shows…oh and obviously sports channels stick to our eyes like velcro for boys…I guess you get to avoid that problem
