3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound mild yellow cheddar or longhorn cheese
  • 1/2 pound aged white sharp cheddar cheese, preferably Vermont or New York
  • One 7-ounce can pimentos, with their juice
  • 1 cup chopped scallions
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste
  • 6 dashes Tabasco sauce, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Crackers or raw vegetables, for serving

Directions

  1. 1
    Use a meat grinder or the coarse side of a box grater to grate the cheese; for a grinder, use the cutter with large holes. Put the ground or grated cheese in a mixing bowl and add half the juice from the canned pimentos. Dice the pimentos and add them. Add the chopped scallions.
  2. 2
    Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic. Add this to the cheese mixture. Add the Worcestershire, Tabasco, and black pepper and blend well; taste and adjust the seasoning.
  3. 3
    Serve at room temperature as a spread for crisp crackers and raw vegetables or use as a sandwich spread. (Pimento cheese can be tightly sealed and kept for several days in the refrigerator.)
