The Filipino cheese pimiento recipe is a spreadable cheese spread with sweet peppers. This is more of a sandwich spread rather than a dip.
Most other recipes uses mayonnaise, or butter -- but this one is like no other.
For cheese, I particularly like american cheese, Velveeta or any quickmelt cheese. Choose one that you like to snack on as it is.
My Aunt Letty Gozon taught me to use evaporated milk for a spreading consistency.
However, milk by itself is too liquidy, so we add hot butter to melt some of the cheese and make the spread a little thick.
Now, let's talk about pimientos.
If you can find canned or jarred pimientos, that's the easiest way to do.
Though that will be more expensive than making your own with red bell peppers.
Some might argue that pimientos are cherry, not bell peppers.
The red bell pepper is a kind of sweet pepper, just like the cherry pepper.
The RED is sweeter than the GREEN, so don't use the green for this recipe.
Simply blanch and chop the red bell peppers and you're good to go. See the tips below for more information.
