Midlife’s A Trip

Roquamole–The New Friendship Food

Posted on 29. Dec, 2007 by Karen in Family and Friends, Holidays

For Christmas I bought myself Nigella Express, the new cookbook by food diva Nigella Lawson.  As I sat one evening reading and savoring the recipes, I came across one that demanded immediate attention.  It’s called Roquamole. 

Roquamole is this incredible creative blend of avocado and Roquefort cheese.  If each of these two foods appeal to you individually, then you’ll love this dish.  Just mix together these ingredients and serve with blue corn tortilla chips:

1 cup crumbled Roquefort

1/4 cup sour cream

2 ripe avocados mashed

1/4 cup sliced pickled green jalapenos coarsely chopped

2 T finely sliced scallions

1/4 t paprika

Now the only problem I found with this dish was getting it out of my kitchen.  I warn you that tasting is dangerous because you won’t be able to stop.  But if you heed my warning, then you can share it with a friend, which is exactly what I did.

Joyce, my best friend of fifty years, was in town for the holidays.  We got together on a cold winter afternoon this week and shared old stories, Rocquamole and a great bottle of Chateau Peyre-Lebade.  It was one of the best times I had this holiday season.  Thanks Nigella for giving me a great new friendship dish.  This is a keeper.
