Recipe

This creamy, slightly spicy pimento cheese spread is a classic of the American South. It can be spread on crackers, used as a vegetable dip, or served as a sandwich filling. Hand-chopping the cheese and pimentos is time-consuming and laborious, but your Geedel manual food chopper makes it possible in an instant, perfectly mixing all the ingredients to achieve the ideal smooth yet textured consistency.

Ingredients:

250g cheddar cheese block, cut into small chunks  

1 can (4 oz / 113g) pimentos, drained  

¼ onion (optional)  

½ cup mayonnaise  

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce  

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika  

Salt and black pepper to taste  

Instructions:  

1. Chop the cheese and pimentos:

   Cut the cheese into small cubes. Install the cross-shaped chopping blade in your Geedel food chopper. First, add the cheese cubes and turn the handle to chop into coarse crumbs. Add the drained pimentos and onion chunks (if using), then pulse a few more times until all ingredients are evenly mixed and reach the desired slightly chunky texture.

2. Mix into a spread:  

   Remove the chopping blade and switch to the mixing paddle. Place the chopped cheese mixture, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into the container.

3. Emulsify and combine:

   Close the lid tightly and turn the handle at a low, steady speed until all ingredients are fully incorporated, forming a uniformly colored, creamy cheese spread. Be careful not to overmix.

4. Chill and serve:  

   Transfer the spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with crackers, celery sticks, or spread on bread.

Summary:  

The charm of this Southern-style cheese spread lies in the combination of a handmade, rustic texture with a smooth, creamy consistency. The Geedel vegetable chopper precisely controls the coarseness of the chop and uses low-speed mixing to perfectly blend all the flavors, allowing you to easily recreate this beloved American classic dip at home.
