Before bells became the most popular mild pepper, everyone grew pimentos. These beautiful, thick-walled fruits work well in dishes across the main board. For this recipe, we used both green and red pods. Halve and seed fresh pimentos. For two cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese use about a half a cup of diced peppers lightly sauteed in scant oil. Use enough mayonnaise to just moisten, a bit of granulated garlic, and chopped scallions or shallots. Salt to taste.
