Red Bell Peppers or Pimientos?

• If you love the look of red bell peppers in a dish but find that they're either unavailable to too pricey, substitute roasted red peppers or pimientos, both of which are commonly available in jars. The flavor will be slightly different, but the visual effect the same.

More on pimientos... Pimientos are excellent pickled and delicious stuffed appetizers. For delightful crunch and beautiful color, add chopped fresh pimientos to salads such as pasta, potato, chicken, tuna or egg salad.
