Pimientos del Piquillo (whole Piquillo Peppers)

Piquillo Peppers are a variety of small peppers traditionally grown in Northern Spain over the town of Lodosa. In recent years many spanish companies have established farms in Peru, successfully producing the same quality peppers for the spanish market. The name Piquillo means “little beak” in spanish, due to resemblance of its shape. Typically, they are first roasted, the peeled and de-seeded by hand. Traditionally they are cooked stuffed with bacalao (dry cod), other seafood or meat, in a sauce made with their own juice, olive oil and garlic. They are found as tapas in most bars in Spain.
