Spicy Pimento Cheese Sandwich

Pimento cheese is a southern tradition. Not the gross looking prepackaged stuff you can buy at the grocery store but the real homemade stuff. Its on a lot of the lunch menus around town and its often my go to item at restaurants that are not very veggie friendly. Everyone’s version is slightly different but this is my spiced up rendition.   

For this simple recipe you need:

• 16 oz block sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup mayonnaise 
• 1 jar (4oz) diced pimentos 
• 1 tea sp vegan worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp siracha

Grate the whole block of cheese and set to the side. In a food processor blend the drained jar of pimentos with the mayonnaise, worcestershire, and siracha. Then in a large bowl mix together the shredded cheese and mayonnaise mixture. This will keep in the fridge for about a week.

I garnished the sandwich with a little lettuce and some sprouts.
