| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. In a heavy 8- to 10-inch skillet, heat the butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, add the scallions and onions, and cook them, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and transparent but not brown.
|
2. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the cream, coriander, oregano, cumin, salt and a few grindings of pepper, and, stirring constantly, drop in the cheese.
|
3. Cook, stirring, until the cheese melts. Traditionally, "chorreada" sauce is served over boiled potatoes (or cooked string beans) and often accompanies sobrebarriga.
