Pimientos del Piquillo – Spanish Tapas

For Anko's Pimientos del Piquillo, grilled peppers, ripe and fully ripe red peppers, 8-10 cm long peppers from Cadreita, native to the Navarra region, are first grilled over oak and beech wood, then carefully peeled by hand and preserved only with a little salt in their own juice. Intensively red, triangular, with compact yet firm flesh. Their taste is sweet and complex due to the roasted notes from grilling. They are wonderful for stuffing, for example with a fish farce. A canned product can hardly taste fresher.
