- Garlic Puree - peel 8 whole heads of garlic by smashing the cloves with the side of a wide knife; the peel will slip off easily then. Put the peeled garlic
- In a blender with about 2 c. of water, and puree. Drain, if necessary, and store in a tightly closed glass jar in the refrigerator.
- Combination Cheese - To come as close as possible to the taste of the cheese of Mexico (that is not readily available in the United States), we devised what I call "combination cheese". It is equal parts shredded yellow cheddar, provolone and jack cheeses. Sopa seca means dry soup and refers to a dish made with rice or possibly a pasta which absorbs all the cooking liquid. Here is one of our favorites and it really does not have a meaningful English translation.
- In a skillet, lightly brown fideos coils on both sides in warm oil. Transfer to a 4-qt saucepan. Add in remaining ingredients, except cheese, and simmer over low heat 20 min. Stir once or possibly twice, separating coils with a long fork. Add in 1 c. cheese and stir. Continue cooking, uncovered, till all the liquid has been absorbed. Garnish with additional cheese.
