French fries topped with cheese

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 1,000 g French fries (frozen)
• 1 medium-sized onion(s), finely chopped
• 1 clove(s) garlic
• 1 slice(s) smoked belly (Wammerl), lightly smoked
• 4 m.-large tomato(s) (vine tomatoes), ripe
• 250 g cheese (e.g. Emmental, Gouda), grated
• some salt and pepper, black from the mill
• possibly chili
• possibly mushrooms

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Fry the diced pork belly in a non-stick pan (without adding any oil or fat). Now add the finely chopped onion and garlic – just brown them lightly. Also dice the tomatoes, fry them lightly in the pan, and season with pepper. Be careful with the salt, as the pork belly is already salty. If too much fat comes out of the pork belly, pour off some of it before adding the tomatoes. Allow the entire mixture to cool completely. Place the fries on a baking sheet with baking paper and bake for about 15 minutes at about 200°C until lightly golden. Spread the prepared tomato mixture over the fries, sprinkle with cheese, and bake for about 10-15 minutes at 180-200°C. I like to serve it with a bean salad and plenty of onion rings. If you like, you can add sautéed mushrooms or a little chili to the mixture.
