Bacon Cheese Dip

By -
That´s right BACON and CHEESE.....did I mention BACON ! Go on, run into the kitchen !!












Bacon Cheese Dip

  • 1 unsliced round loaf bread

  • 2 cups  cheese, shredded ( I used 4 cheeses)

  • 1 cup  Parmesan cheese, shredded

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion (small onion)

  • 2 packages diced bacon ( fried)

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1/4 tsp crushed red chile flakes



    • Pre-heat oven to  180º/350 degrees.
    Slice the top quarter off the loaf of bread and set aside.
    Carefully hollow out the inside, leaving a 1 inch shell.
     Cube removed bread and set aside for dipping.
    Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl, spoon into bread bowl.
    Place on an ungreased baking sheet and cover with the reserved top quarter of the loaf to prevent the dip from becoming to brown while baking.
     Add the bread you scooped out
    Bake for 45 minutes or until heated through.
    Serve with bread cubes and crackers.

    My Grandmother's Alcatra de Carne

    By -

    “Alcatra” is a traditional dish from Terceira, the island I live on. It is a pot roast that is cooked in large unglazed red clay pots. The pots are seasoned, and with each use get darker, and darker.  The simple spices, combined with onions, bacon and wine are what make this dish  flavorfull and so good. "Alcatra" is the Arabic word for "piece", and  it is  made with pieces of beef (round, shank, chuck). The additon of meat with bone in, makes all the difference, as the bones will give it more flavor. Every village, and everybodies grandmother has a different recipe for Alcatra, this one happens to be my grandmother's version. Shortly after I married, I took all of my ingredients, a notebook and pen over to my maternal grandmother's house. Where, while she put everything together, I wrote down her words of wisdom. Now I must say, she may or may not have forgotten something, but I follow this recipe as is, I don't mess arond with it, it's her recipe,

    Lapas Grelhadas- Grilled Limpets

    What are lapas you ask? They are limpets, a shellfish, think clams, but  with only one shell and so much better, they taste of the sea when eaten raw, right out of the shell. Perhaps eating a raw limpet is not your thing, then lapas grelhadas is sure to be! Easy to prepare, the lapas are grilled and served in their own shells; resulting in a savory, and divine dish. Great as a starter or as a lazy summer afternoon meal. I promise that you will enjoy this  Azorean delicacy. Fresh Lapas Butter, soft, I like salted Garlic, minced Massa de Malagueta or Piri Piri/Tabasco/Sriracha Lemon Wedges -Clean the lapas, removing any debris, sand etc. -Next decide how you want to grill them, on the stove top, use a griddle or large frying pan, in the oven or BBQ use a large cookie sheet. They all work, and taste great! -Carefully, arrange the lapas, shell down (cupped side down, this means the juices won’t spill out), on the pan, cookie sheet or griddle you will be using. -Nex
