Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons sundried tomatoes packed in oil coarsely chopped
  • 6 ounces goat cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

To Prepare

  • In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely softened and caramelized, about 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape the onions into the bowl of a food processor.
  • Place the skillet back over low heat, add the walnuts and let them toast, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the walnuts to the food processor along with the chipotle chiles, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Process until smooth. Use immediately or store covered in the refrigerator.

    This spread was so awesome. I loved it on the BLT and I also added it into my potatoes for potatoes tacos and it was also great…..

    Very good and versatile! I used it with pasta, added some of the starchy water and topped with broccoli and grilled chicken. Delish.

    Pati! My partner and I are Canadians who spend 6 months a year in the SW States and cannot wait to return to Nevada and Arizona where we can watch your series: just now watched a 2017 episode with this fabulous spread and cannot wait to try it.
    Thank you for introducing me to Mexican food – and your fabulous show 🥰

      Thanks to you for following Joan! At the end of this month the new season of the show (and previous ones from 3 to 10) will be available in Amazon Prime. Un abrazo.

    This looks like it a good substitute for hummus and a good one. Gracias!

    Do you have recipes for guisado de res and menudo?

      My pleasure Gilbert! I do not have a tested recipe for Menudo but I’m on it. And I have this recipe for a flank steak guisado that you may like 🙂 http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/shredded-flank-steak-with-potatoes-in-green-salsa-2/

    Oh my stars – this is better than I ever expected! Even my husband who is not a very adventurous eater (I’m working on him though ;)) said this was absolutely delicious. I’ve been on a Pati recipe binge in my kitchen and he even said “thank you Pati!” as he scarfed it down. I made the BLT you suggested in ur season 6 episode. I’m glad I doubled the recipe.

    I’m so happy to have found you <3 my 3 year old even watches you with me and is always asking questions about ur cooking. I love introducing her to new & different foods and watching her enjoy it all come together. God bless you and ur family!

    Hi Pati, My Husband and I Love your recipes. We have so much fun cooking them together. We want to try this spread but, we are not partial to goat cheese. Is there another cheese that you could recommend. Thank you so much.

    1. Pati

      Jan 04

      Thank you Donna. You can use feta, cream cheese or mascarpone also. Say hi to your husband!

    Hi Pati, I recently “discovered” your show and absolutely love it! I can’t wait to try this recipe on your BLT. I was able to find Chipotles in Adobo Sauce easy enough.

    However, when it comes to the Sundried Tomatoes in Oil thus far I’ve only found: Sundried Tomatoes in a Plastic bag OR Sundried Tomatoes in Oil with Italian Herbs. I was wondering if you had any suggestions?

    1. Pati

      Apr 06

      I’m so glad you discovered the show, Heather! You can use the dried ones if you can’t find them in oil. You can re-hydrate them in a bit of warm water, so that they are easier to blend into the spread.

    Patient, you are such a joy to watch. I am new to seeing your show on tv. I am going to make the goat cheese spread tonight and try it on a burger. What do you think of that idea? I’m thinking it will be like having a pimento cheese burger in the south.
    Best regards. Janet

    Pati-
    Love your show. I just made this dip and it tasted even better than I thought!! I bought all the fixings for a blt tomorrow, I am definitely looking forward to it. But it tastes great on its own and with yellow and orange bell peppers.

    Thanks!!

    Hi Pati! Always love watching you! Would I be able to make this in advance? Wanted to make Thursday night and use Saturday. Thanks!

    1. Pati

      Feb 16

      Yes, it can be made a few days in advance, and kept tightly sealed in the fridge.

    This sounds delicious! I am allergic to walnuts however, would almonds be ok to substitute? Thank you! 🙂

    1. Pati

      Jan 15

      Absolutely or you can leave the nuts out if you have an allergy.

    made this today to bring to a christmas eve gathering. i added a pinch of sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice–i felt like it was *missing* something. i need it to stand alone with crackers, etc, so i wanted it to have a bit more pizzaz; as a spread on a sandwich, where it’s in the background, it’s perfect as is! thank you! ideal for my family–many “high maintenance” ppl w/dietary restrictions! :/

    1. Pati

      Dec 26

      I’m so glad you made it your own and added some pizzaz!

    I don’t think the recipe above says when to use the chipotle

    1. Pati

      Dec 22

      Thank you Mike, I added it to the directions! You add it when you add all the other ingredients to the food processor.

    Hey Patti,
    I have to bring and appetizer/hors d’oeuvre to a party and thought this would be nice and different. Would it work well with crackers and chips type of thing?

    1. Pati

      Dec 14

      Absolutely!
