PIMENTO CHEESE DIP
- Timescale In A Hurry
- Serves 2-4

I first discovered Pimento Cheese in a New Orleans Barbecue. The food remains some of the best Barbecue I have ever eaten but it was the Pimento Cheese that I couldn’t stop fantasising about. This is my Anglicised version of this excessively indulgent spread.

50g Parmigianino Reggiano, finely grated
75g Pimiento Piquillo Peppers, diced small
30g Mayonnaise
30g Cream Cheese

¼ tsp Garlic Powder
1 Small Bunch of Chives, diced
1 Generous Pinch of Salt and Pepper
