Espinaler Whole Piquillo Peppers

Grown and prepared in Spain, these roasted and peeled piquillo peppers are perfect for stuffing, using in soup or sauce or slicing for salads or garnish. Many people confuse red peppers with piquillo peppers, but piquillo peppers are smaller, with thinner flesh and a fruitier flavor. The peppers, roasted over firewood, have a subtle smokiness and a sweet-tangy quality. They’re tender, but not so soft they’ll fall apart when cooked—they’re peeled without being rinsed in water, which helps retain their smokiness, flavor and texture. And the peppers have Protected Designation of Origin status as a traditional Spanish food. Grown in Navarre, piquillos are also known as the region’s “red gold.”
