▶ Recipe (with a few adaptations):
☞ Ingredients
2 cups (6-8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, at room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 tsp dry mustard powder
1 clove garlic, mashed or 1/4 tsp garlic powder (see note)
1 tsp (vegan) Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or more to taste)
1 tsp malt vinegar
1/2 cup (4 ounces) light lager beer
1 dash smoked Spanish paprika
scant handful spring onions, chopped
☞ Procedure
1) Combine cheddar, cream cheese, mustard, pepper, turmeric, onion powder, cumin, garlic, vinegar, cayenne, and Worcestershire in a food processor or blender. (No salt needed; the cheese will be salty enough!)
2) Process/blend 30 seconds to blend.
NOTE:
When recently re-making this, the taste of the fresh garlic clove overpowered the dish. I would recommend first blending all else and only then adding a little at a time of the smashed garlic to the blender/processor and checking for flavor before (or not) blending more.
3) With processor/blender running, add the beer gradually, blending until the mixture is ‘peanut-butter’ smooth, not runny. Add more, only if necessary.
4) Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors blend.
5) Before serving, bring to room temperature. Garnish with chopped spring onions and a dash of paprika. Serve with raw vegetables.
