SOUTHWESTERN PIMENTO CHEESE

I hate the mushy store bought style of pimento cheese. I prefer it a little drier than the traditional one so I came up with this. You can add more mayo to moisten if you want. This recipe should have texture so don't over mix everything. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. We like this spicy and usually add more heat.

Steps:

  • Combine first 7 ingredients. Stir in mayo until combined. Taste and add salt / pepper if necessary. I find the cheese and spices usually do not need additional salt.
  • If you can find it, use chipotle chile powder - it give the dip a wonderful smoky taste.

16 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese (not the fancy or finely shredded)
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 -2 teaspoon chili powder (mild or hot to taste)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno
4 ounces pimientos, drained
1/2 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's)
salt and pepper (optional)

THE LEE BROTHERS' PIMENTO CHEESE

A decidedly Southern spread with Northern roots, pimento cheese is a simple mix of Cheddar, red bell pepper and mayonnaise that can be found on sandwiches from work sites to garden parties across the 16 states below the Mason-Dixon line. This recipe came to The Times from the Charleston, S.C.-bred cookbook authors and occasional contributors to The Times Matt Lee and Ted Lee.

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, place the cheddar cheese in an even layer. Scatter the cream cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise and chile flakes over the cheddar cheese. Using a spatula, mix the pimento cheese until it is smooth and spreadable, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Transfer the pimento cheese to a plastic container or bowl, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator. Pimento cheese keeps in the refrigerator for 1 week.

  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the cheddar, cream cheese, pimento peppers, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and jalapeño (if using), and several twists of black pepper.
  • Beat the mixture together with a hand mixer, your stand mixer, or by hand with a sturdy wooden spoon or spatula. Beat until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  • Taste, and add more black pepper if desired, and/or salt for more overall flavor (I usually add a pinch of two). If you’d like your pimento cheese to have more of a kick, add another pinch of cayenne. Blend again.
  • Transfer the mixture to a smaller serving bowl. Serve your pimento cheese immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Pimento cheese hardens as it cools; let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to soften.
