Garnaches

From: Julie Finch Robe and Rolf Robe

These are a tasty Belizean version of a tostada.

Ingredients:

small tostada corn tortillas

sweet onion, finely chopped

vinegar

cabbage, in course slices

mild Dutch cheese, finely shredded

refried beans

Marie Sharp's Habanero Sauce, found in import stores in varying degrees of hotness. Another brand is Sontava.

Optional: left over Belizean Chicken

Serve with beer or Panty Ripper



Method:

The main thing you need is a very small corn tortilla. You can make them yourself if you want to go to the effort but I have round a great replacement with Tostadas Amigo's brand tostada. They are about 4" in diameter.

Finely chop a sweet onion and place in a small bowl and then cover in vinegar.

Chop cabbage into course slices.

Shred cheese finely. Use a mild Dutch cheese witch is slightly firm but not too hard. I have found Edam does nicely.

Heat refried beans.

To assemble the garnaches spread the beans on the tostada, add some of the marinaded onion, then cabbage, a sprinkle of cheese and top it off with Marie Sharp's to your taste. If you have left overs from the Belizean Chicken dish, it is a great addition to these garnaches.

Serve with some ice cold beer or Panty Ripper.
