Here's my first thorough step by step in a while. Benedictine is a KY-original, an addictive cucumber-cream cheese spread, allegedly created by Miss Jennie Benedict.
Here's what you need:
2 pkg. cream cheese (3 oz. size)Grated pulp of 1 med. peeled cucumber
1 sm. grated onion, or half a big onion
1/4 tsp. salt
Mayonnaise
Dash of Tabasco
2-3 drops green food coloring
1. Peel your cuke.
2. Finely shred the cucumber and the onion. If you've got a food processor, that's the easiest way to do it, but you could also use a cheese grater if you don't.
3. Strain out as much of the juice from the shreds as you can.
4. Mash the cheese into the cucumber/onion pulp with a fork til thoroughly mixed.
Like this.
5. Add the Tabasco, salt, and enough mayo to make a smooth filling, easily spread (approximately a dollop).
6. Lastly, add just a few drops of green food coloring (don't overdo it or it's gonna look freaky).
7. Mix it up.
8. PUT IT ON A SANDWICH.
9. Attain Benedictine Enlightenment.
