Vegan Pimento Cheese Dip

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
2. Cut the pepper in half. Remove the stem and seeds. Place it upside down on a baking tray. Cook for 30 minutes.
3. Let the pepper cool. Remove the skin.
4. In a food processor, add all the ingredients. Blend until you have a homogeneous mixture.
5. Use the mixture as a dip or to make “sandwichitos de mezcla”. For the sandwich, add 1 tablespoon of the mixture to two slices of bread and cut into 4 triangles or 4 squares.

Substitutions:

- If using low-sodium canned white beans, omit salt from the recipe.

- You can substitute white beans with chickpeas if you prefer. Chickpeas are lower in potassium.

- If you want the mixture to be less thick, add a bit more water.

- For a cheesier flavor, you can add more nutritional yeast (add 1 teaspoon at a time). Experiment with other flavors like garlic.
