Vigilante

An Argentinian snack built around quince paste and creamy cheese — on the table in 5 minutes. Each serving lands at 325 calories with 4g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Naturally vegetarian, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Quince paste
• 8 oz Creamy cheese

Steps

1. Cut the quince paste and the cheese into matching thick slabs — the ratio is a personal philosophy, start at one-to-one.
2. Stack cheese on quince paste and serve at room temperature with nothing else; vigilante needs no garnish.
3. The classic debate is membrillo versus batata — try both, pick a side, defend it loudly.
4. Serve at room temperature — cold mutes both the quince perfume and the cheese creaminess.
5. Pair with a glass of Malbec; the tannins love the sweet-salty contrast.
