Cheese paste is a recipe that I think every single Bajan (people from Barbados) have had.  This simple but tasty recipe fills kid’s lunchboxes and also graces the tables of the finest establishments to make delicate finger sandwiches to be served with afternoon tea and light refreshments.

• Ready In:  Immediately
• Yields: Approximately 1LB

INGREDIENTS

• 8oz of Margarine (my preference is Country Crock)
• 1 TSP ground White Pepper
• 1/2 TSP ground Thyme
• 1/2 TSP dried or fresh Thyme leaves
• 1 TSP minced Garlic

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place diced Onion and Garlic in a food processor and chip until fine

SERVING OPTIONS:

Cheese paste can be served on its own or spread on bread and then filled with sliced meats to add a delicate cheese and onion taste to any sandwich.  This recipe has no mayonnaise and therefore is perfect for picnics or places where you have no refrigeration.
