I love the combo of asparagus and manchego cheese – yum!
yay for another great asparagus recipe! the only way I knew how to eat asparagus was dipped in red pepper vinegar sauce (korean) and wrapped in nori!
Great combination! Manchego is such a great flavorful cheese.
The manchego cheese gives the asparagus an unique flavor.
I should have thought about the combo of asparagus and manchego cheese. Seems like a natural and I will certainly give this a try. I think it might accompany well with this tapa recipe for Serrano Ham Croquettes w/ manchego cheese travelmorsels.com/2011/03/tapas
