Banana Nutella Chimichangas

By -
 Friends,today I bring you a fantastic dessert, that is sweet, hot, cold, crispy, and creamy. Imagine if you will, a flour tortilla wrapped around a banana and nutella then lightly fried, dusted with cinammon sugar, topped with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream, and lets add caramel sauce while we are at it.... are you  still there ?? Did you faint....or feel weak in the knees ?? I don´t blame you, these are amazing!





Ingredients

-  flour tortillas
-  bananas
-  Nutella

- Vegetable oil for frying

- ½ cup of sugar
- 1 tbsp cinnamon

- Vanilla ice cream
- Caramel sauce



Heat the oil, these will be shallow fried.

Spoon a large spoonful of Nutella into the middle of the tortilla.
Place half a banana in the center, ( I used two, as our baby bananas are small)
Fold the right and left sides of the tortilla over the ends of the banana, then fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the banana, and continue to roll the tortilla until you have a sealed packet.
Secure the tortilla with a toothpick.
Fry the chimichanga until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon, and roll the fried chimichanga in the mixture until coated.
Serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.

**you can make as many or as little as you like.
**I assemble all of mine before frying
** I bet there are many more filling options that would work, cream cheese, marshmallows, strawberries, apples, peanut butter

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
