Ingredients

1 8-oz. package cream cheese, softened

8-oz. sour cream

8-oz. sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped

1 red pepper seeded and finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 tsp. ground cumin

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with crackers. This spicy dip will warm up your guests for the main course.

To make this dish even more exotic, you can use the spanish dried peppers, Pimientos Choriceros, available in spanish supermarkets. To use this, simply cut the peppers in half and de-seed them, then soak in water for half an hour. Using the back of edge of a knife, scrape out the 'meat' of the peppers onto your chopping board and coarsely chop this before adding it to the dip. This flavour is worth the extra effort.

Also you may add chopped pineapple for a more of a sweet dip.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, this sounds nice 'n spicy! Being a garlic fiend, would it alter the taste too much if I put in more? thanks for the post.

Hey Betty,
The more the merrier, they say. All depends on others though, some people a little shy on the garlic side, but if we all eat it nobody can smell it! Also for more flavour I usually press the garlic, to squeeze out the juices more.
Good luck!

One comment, can you make this without the jalapeno pepper - wonder if it would alter the taste too much. What do you think?

Yummy! I bet this would be good on bagels too. A nice little kick in the morning to get your day off right.

You Bet!!! Great idea! Wish I could get bagels here. Have to make my own. Not enough time in a day. Tnx for the idea.
