This was an excellent side dish. I was really quite an elegant looking dish, despite the ease of preparation and the simplicity of the ingredients. This went over very well as part of our Christmas meal. It was very attractive and tasted great. Thanks!

You know, the simple dishes are probably the most flavorable. I loved this recipe because the flavors all worked together, and....it was a beautiful dish. I really liked the simplicity of the peas and pimentos and onions. Next time I make this, I will experiment (sorry Aunt Marie) with maybe, red onion, but you know....it is terrific just like it is!!

This is a great recipe! I will be keeping this one. I am always looking for new side dishes. This is definitely a keeper!! Thanks Mysterygirl ; )

My mom, who passed away last year, very often made this medley for dinner guests. I was cleaning out her spice rack and found a jar of Summer Savory. I remember that was the seasoning she used when she made this. I made this recipe with finely diced red pepper instead of pimento and added the Savory. I enjoyed the taste from my past...thanks for the recipe!

Beautiful and easy side dish! The red pimento's are a must for color. I reduced the butter to 1 tablespoon and the onions cooked up nicely. Also, I used a 16 ounce bag of frozen peas since I was having six hungry people for St. Patty's day. I will be making this for company again!

Back then the original owners Troy and Gay ran the site and they had a lot of interaction with the members. I miss them. <br /> <br />Through the years it still remains to this day my favorite go to site and the one that I send all of my friends and family to when they need anything.</p> 8724616"
