What are Pimientos?
Pimiento is the Spanish word for pepper. The pimento is a large red sweet pepper, heart shaped, with a sweeter flavor than a bell pepper. Pimentos are packed in tins and jars either strips, sliced or diced. They are the little pepper used to stuff Spanish green olives. This is the same pepper harvested to make paprika.
Substitute for Pimientos
If you don't have or don't like pimento you can use:
Fresh pimento may be hard to find so you can easily use jarred or canned pimento.
For 2 tablespoons pimentos needed, substitute 2-3 tablespoons fresh chopped red bell pepper
OR - Substitute 2 tablespoons chopped, Holland sweet peppers
OR - Use equal amounts of
Peppadew peppers
Equivalents
2-oz jar pimentos = 1/4 cup (diced pimento)
4-oz jar, diced = 1/2 cup
2oz jar diced = 1/4 cup
4oz jar diced = 1/2 cup
