Thanks for the recipe!

With regard to your pet hate - are you my dead grandma? If the plate wasn't molten lava it wasn't hot enough.

Ah choritzo and bacon with Portabellos, a marriage made in heaven........delicioso.
But.......that dish is screaming out for a sauce, Eltorro, and 'no', the creme fraiche doesn't cover it!
Made me sad now thinking of my beloved Playa Levante in Beni.

Actually the creme fraiche, when mixed with the chorizo 'fat' does make a very nice sauce (well, sufficient for me anyway)

Agreed. Creme fraiche makes an excellent base for a sauce when combined with something fatty. I make a cheese sauce for pasta that uses creme fraiche as the base. A real nice crumbly mature cheddar works best although if using full fat creme fraiche you have to be careful not to let it split. I prefer using half fat creme fraiche as it binds to the fats in the cheese better.

I use it when making Mac N Cheese for the boy... Rather partial to it myself now.
