take a couple of those wonderful chilis (jalapenos), wash, dry and make a slit in each one. Insert a piece of chees (cheddar, monterey etc). Dredge in flour and fry in a skillet, slit side up, until cheese melts. Serve hot/warm with a sprinkle of salt.
Entree: 'Eggplant pasta'
Cook desired amount of short pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.
Meanwhile, cut eggplant into half-inch slices. Broil with lots of good extra-virgin olive oil (Italian or Spanish) turning once, until tender and browned. Top with crumbled goat or feta cheese and broil another 20 seconds.
Drain pasta, not too well (keep a couple of tablespoons of the water) and add to eggplant and cheese mixture when ready. Add some fresh basil leaves and serve.
Dessert: 'Grilled Peaches'
Slice peaches in half and remove pit. Place flesh side down on hot grill pan or grill for 3-4min. Remove when grill marks appear. Meanwhile heat a couple of tablespoons of honey with a pinch of salt and a couple of fresh mint leaves, just until runny. Pour over warm grilled peaches. Serve with vanilla ice cream or alone.
Buon Appetito!
