When I came across this recipe it took me back to childhood, where we would have this occasionally. However, when my mom made it she used green olives, not just pimentos. So of course that is what I had to use and they add the perfect salty flavor to the dish.
Growing up my mom served this over toasted bread, but I decided to use some biscuits. I think it would also taste good over some rice. This recipe would also work well with turkey. A perfect way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays.
