AuthorNote: Manchego is a firm, full-flavored Spanish sheep's milk cheese
made on the plains of La Mancha. Sold at Cuban markets throughout south
Florida, it can be found elsewhere in the country at Hispanic markets and
gourmet shops. Romano cheese from Italy makes a tasty, if not strictly
identical, substitute.
