"But chef, we always make
sweets to sell and to gift, how about those who
wants something savory? " So today, let's spread the love by
creating delicious spreads which is very nice to
sell, to gift, or simply to prepare and eat this
coming holiday season or if you want to
make any day special. So today, let's make, first,
Chicken Salad Spread and Four Cheese
Pimiento Spread. So let's start here. In my mixing bowl, I have here
1 kl of chicken breast fillet that I've ordered
from Fresh Options. We let it boil for
around five to six minutes in water
with a bit of salt and when it's cooked
and become cold, we shred it off,
so there it is. Okay. You can prepare this in
advance, actually and then, this is just
very quick to make. So first, you
put Pimientos. About half a cup
of Chopped Pimientos. Red onions. Since red onions are
more pungent so we're putting
red onions. Pickles. Chopped pickles. You put good mayonnaise. Cream cheese. So the cream cheese has
to be at room temperature. If the cream cheese is cool, then put
it in the microwave for a while so that it will soften
and then you put around 2 tablespoons of
good condensed milk. If you wanted sweeter,
you can add it more. I put a bit of hot sauce,
just a bit of hot sauce to balance the flavor and
a bit of white vinegar, just a splash of
white vinegar. I have here
salt and pepper but it's to taste already,
so I'll just mix this first. Just put all the ingredients and
then just mix it, just combine it. This is very delicious. You may bottle this, later I'll
show you some packaging tips. Okay. You just blend
them all together. "Chef, the one my mother-
in-law makes has raisins" "The one I watched
has cranberries." You know what? You drop
all you want to drop on it. If it makes you happy,
you can put raisins. Just drop your
raisins on that. Cranberries, drop your
cranberries on it. Walnuts, drop your
walnuts on it. Just don't fall on
a wrong person. So there it is,
it's just like that. If what makes you happy,
then drop that on it. Just to be honest because anyway
this is your chicken salad, others would even
actually put apples. The only problem with
apples is that it discolors. It's shelf life
is shorter. So there it is, you can see
that it is very creamy like this. Do not overmix it
because if you overmix it, then it would be
like too mushy. You put some black pepper
and a little bit of salt. Okay. Some tips, all the ingredients
you'll use here has cooled down especially the chicken, do not use
the chicken while it's still warm because it will produce
moisture and there's a chance that your chicken spread
would be easily damaged. So I'm going to put
this inside the fridge. Well of course,
I know you'll say that, "Why haven't he taste it?" So let's taste it, I
can't find the spoon. Let's just use this since
the spoon is too far. Okay. If what's near
with you, If what's accessible with you, then
you choose that one. It's good, so I'm going to
put this inside the fridge but of course, before
you put it inside the fridge, you
need to cover it. So I'm going to
get clean wrap. To prevent cross-contamination,
then you need to cover it and when you cover items like
this, don't cover it like that. I cover it directly
onto the surface so that it would
not form moisture. The condensation, the producing-
fluid because if it may happen, your spread would
be dripped with moisture, then it would be quickly
destroyed or spoiled. "I don't want to use plastic." You can use parchment paper
or wax paper to cover it. So this goes inside
the fridge and then I'm going to show you
later, the packaging tips. So now, let's prepare
another favorite. This is Four Cheese
Pimiento Spread. "God chef!, that's a lot of
cheese, it's even 4 types." "We may be dazed on
finding that cheese." Don't worry, If you wanted
to have two types of cheese only, The Keso De Bola, substitute it with cream
cheese or make it processed cheese also. It would just depend
on you, okay? Just fill your spread with
cheese and with love. So we start with, half a
cup of good mayonnaise. Just combine it all together
on your mixing bowl. 1 cup of cream cheese. When you buy cream cheese that is
packed like this, this is already 1 cup. You don't need to measure that
on your measuring cup anymore. 1 cup of grated Keso De Bola. 1 cup of grated processed cheese, those
cheese that you can buy on supermarket. Buy any type of
brand you want. half a cup of grated
Parmesan cheese. If you don't like this, then
substitute it with processed cheese. If you don't like cream cheese, then
substitute it with processed cheese also. No problem. Good butter. You put around half a cup
to 3/4 cup of good butter. This is salted butter, of course. So that it would really be tasty,
so that's around 3/4 cup and then you put
condensed milk. 2 to 4 tablespoons. If you want it sweeter, you
can add more condensed milk. So I'm going to mix this first,
before I put the Pimientos. So I'm going to use a hand
mixer, low speed first. I'm going to break
the cream cheese. So you just beat it until
it's very smooth and fluffy. Okay, and now I'm going
to turn off the mixer. I'm just going to put a
pinch of Cayenne pepper. Right? Not to incorporate it with
spiciness but just a kick. Right? Because again, the
acidity of your pepper, it would be the one
that cut through the feeling of being fed up
on the creamy dishes. Not necessarily to
make the dish spicy but to remove the
feeling of being fed up. So I mix it again. And then, I'm going to
put my chopped Pimientos. And then, I mix it again. So just like your
bake products, this spread is also more
delicious on the following day. Rest it on the refrigerator. Because resting it inside the
fridge will let all the essential oils of your cheeses, of your milk to
combine together and to intensify. That's why now, it's already delicious
but it's more delicious the next day. If you want to put more Pimientos,
then you may add it additional. So this is your Four
Cheese Pimiento Spread or if you want to make it Three
Cheese, Two Cheese, Five Cheese, on where you are happy. So next, I'm going to show
you how to properly pack it. So to properly pack your delicious
spreads, you have many options. So of course, the most popular is, you may
put that on your microwavable container. It's Cheese Pimiento, right? If you're gonna sell or gift this,
you may put it on this container and then of course, after putting
it into the container, you pack it. Okay. So that it would be compact
and then put the cover and what's the most important
tip that I always give to you? It needs to
have a label. There it is, so you put
your label on top It won't remove. Okay. So this is Four Cheese Pimiento. You put it there, right? When I make a label,
blank just like that and then I write it,
so that it would really be personalized, it
really feels homemade and of course, if you want
it more sophisticated then you may put
it on bottles like this. So when you buy your
bottle, make sure to wash it thoroughly
with soap and water. Dry it properly and
the inside should be is, it really needs to be dry. There
shouldn't be any water left or moisture to avoid the spread
on being damaged easily and make sure that everything
is well sanitized, right? including your hands. So when
you're gonna pack already, you must really use
alcohol to the max, right? To make sure that
there would be no cross-contamination that would
happen on your bottling right? especially this one is a
dairy product. So next, get a piping bag and you
put your spread here. So now, I'm doing
the Cheese Pimiento. We're doing this technique to
make sure that your bottle is clean. The feel of your packaging
looks so professional and then just cut it,
the whole is a bit big and then pipe it
onto your bottle. After that, to make sure that the
air bubbles that traps aren't present, you have a rubber,
just like this. This is just, what
do you call this one? Dislodger, right? I forgot what is
this called, this is what you put for the
table to be not heated So there, just dislodge it and then
you'll see that the top is just really flat. Maybe you can add more
pimientos because they don't like too much
pimientos here in the house. But of course,
this is your spread. You may add it more so that there would
be more red colors, Christmas effect and then you cover it. Put it on the fridge
already, of course, you put the label. This would last on the
fridge for about 1-2 weeks. The chicken one, the shelf
life is much shorter. One week. You put the label and then you may also
put 'Keep refrigerated' So there it is, right? So this is you chicken spread, the way
of packaging it is also like before. You may put it on a bottle like this,
you may put it on a microwavable or when you're just gonna eat that
in house, where should we put that? Then on the bottle of mayonnaise
that has been used, right? You thought the inside is mayonnaise
but it's really Cheese Pimiento. It's more impressive, right? So now, let's try it
with the cracker. You can put it with pandesal also.
So this is your Cheese Pimiento. The balance of the different
cheeses that we've used, it removes the saltiness of the Keso De
Bola, the creaminess of the cream cheese. It does balance it all,
it's really really good. But again, if you want to use
any cheese then you may use that. This is the Chicken Spread. You want to turn
it into a bundle. You can do it Cheesy
Chicken Spread. Why not, right? You may
joint it together, bundle. It's really good. Even it's
not Christmas at all, it's very nice as snack,
as gift and as to sell. So make yours already
and I look forward, to seeing your spreads
and or seeing you spread the love
through this spreads. Keep safe and see you :)
