  6. NOTES : what the heck are pimentos and where can I buy them Pimentos are sweet, red, heart-sharped peppers. They're most commonly used as a stuffing for green olives. Look for them in small jars near the pickles and olives at your grocery store. If you cannot find pimentos, roasted red peppers make a good substitute.
