Hi gang, in planning for a dinner party yesterday I went to the market for ingredients. While there I spied a tub of bright red pimento peppers in the markets well stocked olive bar. The peppers were already topped and seeded. I immediately knew what kind of recipe I wanted to make with them! I bought a couple dozen and headed home with my bags. Last night this recipe was served and disappeared faster than I made it! If you've never had a pimento pepper its a wonderful experience, they start off sweet then comes this wonderful heat. If you can't find pimento peppers you can substitute sweet or hot cherry peppers which most markets carry in a jar.
