Classic Pimento Rice Recipes

CLASSIC PIMENTO RICE

Classic Pimento Rice image

Mom used to make this classic dish, and every now and then I enjoy having it for a side dish. It certainly is nothing fancy and I have updated it a bit, but I still love it. This recipe makes 4 cups or 8 servings, so you can easily cut this in half if you want. It is just one of those nice comfort foods.

Time 20m

Yield 8 1/2 cup servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 cups cooked rice (I prefer long grain, but use anything you want)
6 scallions, fine chopped (whites and green)
1 celery rib, leaves included very fine diced
2 (4 ounce) jars pimientos, un-drained (diced)
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 1/2-2 cups mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 pinch celery salt
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt
pepper

Steps:

Rice -- Cook the rice according to package directions.
Pimento Mix -- Add the remaining ingredients to the rice and mix well. I start out with 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise, if you prefer it creamier you can add more. I prefer it less creamy, but that is just my taste. Put it back on low heat for 1-2 minutes, just to heat everything through.Taste again for any additional seasoning, salt or pepper.
Serve -- ENJOY! No garnish needed, this is just a nice comforting side dish.
