I created this recipe today inspired by the We Can't Say It's Cheese smoked cheese spread.
It still needs some tweaking, but it's pretty good. Adding a roasted red pepper and a teaspoon of miso or umeboshi vinegar would probably make it really good, but I don't have either, so I used what had on hand.
Smoky Pimento Spread
1 c old fashioned oatmeal
1 T paprika
1 t salt ( I used chunky sea salt, you may need less if you are using finely ground salt, so start with ½ t )
1 T onion powder
1/2 c nooch
1.5 t Dijon mustard
1.5 c water
1 T toasted sesame oil
½ t liquid smoke
2 T green olives
2 T olive brine
2 T olive oil
Method:
Over medium heat, place oats, paprika, salt, onion powder, mustard, water and toasted sesame oil in a saucepan. Cook for 20 minutes, covered stirring several times. Place the olives in a food processor and pulse to break them up. Add the oatmeal mixture and process for 3 minutes or until very smooth. During the last 30 seconds, add the brine and olive oil pulse to incorporate. Allow mixture to cool.
