There is a wonderful Mexican Bread called Bolillo and they are great for tortas, and the subject of this post the wonderful Molletes. Simply delicious a Mollete is a Bolillo, relative of a French Baquette, piled with salsa, frijoles and queso and cooked for a bit until all is bubbly and heated through. As the ingredients are few it is very important that you use only the best, most flavorful ingredients.
Make your own refried beans with freshly cooked beans (a can works too) and salsa, venture into a panaderia and buy fresh bolillos. Skip the Rosarita pasty refried stuff and the overpriced picante sauce and go for the goo stuff! Fresh, vine ripened tomatoe, onions and chilies, frijoles and queso. Don’t get uptight about the bacon fat, it will make the dish excellent.

 I love an easy to prepare, quick to the table dish that has a high satiety value. Mushu Beef Wraps fit the bill!
Mushu is a favorite of mine when dining in a Chinese restaurant and this dish captures the lovely flavors of Mushu and the ease of preparation that anyone who works for a living needs. Great dish for a week night meal! [...]
Focaccia is a wonderful, Italian bread which is a perfect light meal or a compliment to salad, soup, cheese or a roasted vegetable tray. Great as an appetizer and easy to prepare this savory bread fills the senses from the moment the bread begins to raise until it is doused with garlic and olive oil and baked. I imagine Focaccia as the predecessor to the modern pizza. Deliciously satisfying and delightfully rustic, Focaccia is a peasant food that is gaining notoriety in bistros and trendy restaurants alike [...]
Mia and I visited a restaurant today and I ordered the roasted vegetable salad. It was delicious and the vegetables were perfectly roasted and deliciously sweet. It brought to mind a vegetable sandwich, which I love and admit, is a selfish indulgence. Most people like some meat in their sandwich but a perfectly crafted sandwich of vegetables it just fine in my book.
Ratatouille Niçoise Sandwich is inspired by the classic Ratatouille Niçoise. Ratatouille is a blend of tomatoes, garlic, onions, zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, carrots, marjoram and basil, or a mix of green herbs like herbes de Provence. Classically the eggplant and zucchiniare prepared by cutting into slices, something like, 1/2700 of an inch thick, and layering them, with a sauce made from the remaining vegetables, in a casserole dish and baking until tender. This is the French, and Julia Child’s, method which is way too fussy for me! [...]
A Panino, often called by the plural form panini in the US, is an Italian sandwich which is usually made on ciabata or similar small roll or bread. A panino can be made, as any other sandwich, or the roll can be toasted and stuffed with ingredients; or the sandwich can be filled with meat and vegetables and toasted in a sandwich press. I think paninos are just great! Stuff them with yummy fillings, grill them and in minutes you have a nice lunch, light dinner or even breakfast. [...]
A hearty bread supporting three cheeses and to keep it healthy a slice of tomato and onion. Oh the goodness of this melty delicious sandwich, a blend of three of my favorite cheeses. Fast, delicious and not even a bit good for you this is one of my very favorite meals. [...]
Falafel is very popular throughout the Mediterranean, the Levant and Northern Africa. It is the closest thing there is to being the national food of Israel and enjoyed throughout the region. As a sandwich
stuffed in a pide with lettuce, tomatoes, and tahini. As mezze, it is served on a salad, or with hummus and tahini – falafel are delicious! [...]
When I was a kid my Grama would make this tremendously delicious bread called Bubbat. It was usually made on Saturday and served on Sunday after church. Bubbat, an egg rich, sandwich like, breakfast, lunch or dinner bread. All I know is as a lover of anything starch this stuff was close to heaven. [...]
Delicious, toasted French Sandwich
This Summer I got a new Panini Grill from Amazon.com and though I am not usually into gadgets, I love this thing! I had been thinking about buying one for a year or so but daunted by the price of most of them. This one was a great price, nice reviews and [...]
When my son started to date Jessica, a lovely Vietnamese American girl, recently I realized I had very little knowledge of Vietnamese Cuisine. As I began to study the subject I found that the cuisine was influenced, as so many others were, by other cuisines as a result of either occupation or significant migration of a people group into the [...]
