I love Lisa Fain. Her cookbooks (The Homesick Texan Cookbook and The Homesick Texan’s Family Table) are always at the forefront of my collection, Queso! being one of my absolute faves. As a follower of her blog, she got my rapt attention with a recent recipe for pimiento cheese. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you know that I am obsessed with pimiento cheese! Considering this is hatch chile season, her incorporation of them into pimiento cheese, replacing standard red peppers was intriguing. The addition of pecans did, indeed, take this over the top. I won’t say that it’s my new favorite, but I will say that it’s right up there. Because the pecans, I felt, made this a little dry, I altered her recipe slightly. Excellent!

That looks too dangerously addictive for me :-//
HEB has been full on advertising Hatch chilies lately and I love them. I need a batch of this filling for a sammie this weekend!
You are going to unfriend me. Not only have I never had pumpkin spice…I’VE NEVER EATEN A HATCH CHILE!!!!!! That is so weird given how much I love chiles! I see them every year, but I’ve just never tried them! You always find such interesting (and, no doubt) delicious ways to use different foods!
Woow dear friend! as i said before, presentation is Perfect. I really feel myself in the cook-book. Thanks for the recipe. Looks fingerlickingly delicious. Greetings from Turkey.
Oh that looks so good. Love, love Hatch chiles. When we lived farther south the Texas chain HEB had roasters stationed outside their store and sold them freshly roasted - yum yum - I could eat them with just a sprinkle of salt!
