BEST PIMENTO CHEESE RECIPE

What is pimento cheese?
Pimento cheese is a treasured Southern dish.

It is sometimes referred to as “the pâté of the South”.

The base of the recipe is pretty simple – shredded cheese is combined with mayo and diced pimentos.
Everyone has their own little variation though – some people use different types of cheese, add spices, or even bread and butter pickles (yuck!).

My recipe, the one I’m sharing with you today, includes diced jalapenos, white pepper, and celery salt.

My personal favorite cheeses for this dish are sharp cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar. It is best to buy block cheese and shred it yourself. Store bought shredded cheese is full of preservatives that alter the taste. Tillamook makes an excellent version of both cheddars.

One of the simplest and most popular ways to serve pimento cheese is in a sandwich.

Traditionally, white bread is used and the only condiment is mayo.

The pimento cheese sandwich is undoubtedly the most popular item at the Masters golf tournament in Georgia.

Ingredients
  • 2.5 Cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar

  • 1.5 Cups Shredded Extra Sharp White Cheddar

  • 1 Cup Pimentos, diced

  • 1-2 Jalapenos, diced

  • 1/2 Cup Mayo

  • 3/4 Tsp Vinegar Based Hot Sauce (optional)

  • 1/2 Tsp Celery Salt

  • 1/4 Tsp White Pepper

  • 1/8 Tsp Salt

Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients in a large bowl, stir until well combined.
  2. Serve as a sandwich between 2 slices of white bread, or serve as a dip with crackers or vegetables.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to one week.

5-Ingredient Sheet Pan Salmon

This particular 5-Ingredient Sheet Pan Salmon dinner was influenced by a chicken dish that my mom used to make a bit in our house. She’d take a bottle of Italian dressing and marinate some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in it overnight. They’d take on all that yummy tart and tangy flavor of the vinaigrette and absorb all those herbs too. Super easy and inexpensive! This 5 Ingredient Sheet Pan Salmon is the perfect dinner for busy weeknights! This complete seafood dinner cooks in just 30 minutes and the cleanup is easy too!  INGREDIENTS 4 salmon fillets 5- to 6-oz. each 1 pound red potatoes halved 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed 5 tablespoons Italian dressing divided 1 lemon halved Kosher salt and pepper to taste Tartar Sauce for serving (if desired) INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 400°.

Spicy cumin chicken thighs with green beans

Quick to cook and difficult to fail, spicy cumin chicken thighs with green beans is inspired by a popular Chinese street food. An easy pan-fried dish full of flavour.  This is not a classic Chinese dish, but inspired by a popular street food I used to have back in my home province of Gansu, in China. It’s called Yang Rou Chuan In my recipe, I use both cumin powder and whole cumin seeds, the same for chilli too (both powder and flakes). This helps to maximize the fragrance of the spices, and to create an appealing finished look. If you are not accustom to very hot food, please feel free to reduce the amount of chilli powder and flakes (or use milder ones). However, I wouldn’t suggest reducing the cumin as it’s really the soul of this dish.
