RECIPE : CHORIZO MAC N CHEESE WITH 1057 SCOTTISH CHEDDAR CHEESE
I’m talking Macaroni Cheese; Mac n Cheese. Cheese has never been such an important and integral part of a dish as mac n cheese. Here cheese rules and the cheesier the better.
So I went with a superb Scottish Cheddar, 1057 Cheddar Cheese to make this dish super cheese - and to be honest, it could easily have handled more cheese. Yes, half a packet was ample but I’d not question adding in a whole block.
Here is my recipe for my Chorizo Mac n Cheese which pairs perfectly with a pint of Guinness if you are celebrating St Patricks Day this Thursday (17th March 2022).
