Spicy Cheese Smoked Paprika Coins Recipes

SMOKY PAPRIKA CHEESE SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine shallot, oil, spices and a small pinch of salt, if you like. (Most grilling cheese is already pretty salty; taste it first.) Add cheese and gently toss to evenly coat.
• Heat the grill to high. While the grill is heating, pierce marinated cheese onto metal skewers or pre-soaked wooden skewers (see Tip), about 3 to 4 per skewer. Reserve any leftover marinade at the bottom of bowl.
• When the grill is hot, brush the grates lightly with oil and add the skewers. Cook, rotating them carefully every few minutes, until evenly browned and slightly charred in places, about 3 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and brush with remaining marinade. Serve immediately.

SPICY GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spread each slice of bread with 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Place one piece of bread, mayonnaise-side down, into the skillet. Top with the Jalapeno Pimento Cheese. Place the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side up, onto the cheese. Using a spatula, press together and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Slice and serve.
• Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, adobo sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, cayenne or hot sauce and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until combined. Add almost all of the Cheddar and Gouda, reserving about 2 tablespoons of each in a bowl, and pulse until well combined again. Add the contents of the blender to the reserved cheese and stir to combine. Fold in the pimentos, jalapenos and dill, then chill before serving.
• Serve as a dip with crackers and olives.

SMOKY SPICED VEGGIE RICE

Steps:

• Dry-fry the cashews in a large saucepan or casserole dish over a medium heat until golden brown. Remove from the heat, leave to cool, then roughly chop. Heat 1 tbsp oil in the same pan over a high heat, then fry the corn on each side for 20 seconds to char. Remove from the pan, set aside, then tip in the carrots and fry for 5 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Heat the rest of the oil in the same pan over a medium heat and fry the onions and celery for 10 mins until soft and slightly coloured. Tip in the peppers and garlic, then fry for another 5 mins before adding the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, chipotle paste and tomato purée. Fry for 1 min until the spices are fragrant, then add the cherry tomatoes and fry for another 2 mins.
• Stir in the kidney beans, canned tomatoes, rice, stock, vinegar and sugar, then stir until everything is combined. Bring to the boil, then cover with a lid and simmer with a lid on for 35-40 mins on a medium-low heat, stirring halfway through, until the rice is cooked and liquid absorbed.
• Slice the corn off the cob and mix it through the rice along with the carrots. Season and garnish with the spring onions and cashews.

SPICY CHEESE CRACKERS

Steps:

• Place the cheese, flour, salt and pepper flakes in a food processor; process until blended. Add butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. While pulsing, add just enough cream to form moist crumbs. , On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. holiday-shaped cookie cutter. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Reroll scraps and repeat., Bake at 350° until golden brown, 13-17 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

SPICY CHEESE + SMOKED PAPRIKA COINS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, cayenne, paprika, and sage. Process until the mixture is in coarse crumbs. Add the cheese and pulse until well-combined.
• Add the butter and pulse until well-combined. (Don't overmix here.) With the food processor running, slowly add the milk in a stream and continue to process until the dough comes together in a ball.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a disc. Wrap the disc tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 12 hours (or up to 3 days).
• When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Working with half of the chilled dough at a time (leave the other half in the refrigerator until ready to use), roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/16-inch thickness. Using a small round cutter (I like a 1-inch wide cutter), punch out small circles of dough.
• Transfer circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes (start keeping a very close eye on them after 10 minutes), or until the crackers are golden brown on the edges. They will crisp up as they cool. Remove from the oven and let sit on the pan for a minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
