Wright Bryan, NPR This recipe was passed along to my family in Augusta, Ga., in the early 1970s, hx form the early 1900's from the south- each family has their favorite version!
Ingredients
- . shopping list
- 1 pound sharp cheddar cheese shopping list
- 1/2 pound monterey jack cheese shopping list
- 2 medium kosher dill pickles (the original version of the recipe called for Claussen's pickles, most brands suffice) shopping list
- 2 or 3 cloves of garlic (three cloves yields a powerful garlic punch; adjust the amount to suit your taste) shopping list
- 1 4-ounce jar of pimentos (or pimientos, as they are also called), drained shopping list
How to make it
- Cut all ingredients except the pimentos into large chunks.
- (The pimentos are already chopped.)
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and pulse just long enough to roughly chop.
- You don't want to puree the ingredients, just make them pliable for the next step.
- Put in large bowl and mix with about 3 good tablespoons of mayonnaise. (I use Duke's, a Southern brand based in Richmond, Va., that many pimento-cheese aficionados prefer.)
- Refrigerate, but set out for 20 to 30 minutes before use.
- Spread between bread or use how you like!
