Crystal choricero peppers
The dehydrated crystal choricero peppers from La Rioja are top-quality peppers that have undergone a drying process, losing their natural moisture.
The drying method is 100% natural using the sun.
As a result, the flavor of the pepper is intensified.
Dehydration
The product is placed outdoors in dry and sunny weather. The trays are covered with gauze to prevent dust and flies from entering. Under such conditions, the peppers are ready in 3-7 days, depending on the humidity and air temperature.
Place the product on trays and cover with gauze. Keep an eye on the preparation, stirring the pieces from time to time. Whole peppers dry outdoors. The fruits are threaded onto a thick string and hung under a roof or in a dry place.
This procedure is quite quick if done properly; if so, the peppers will last you for up to 1 year. It is recommended to dry your peppers between late August and early September to take advantage of the harvest season.
Usage
These sun-dried peppers are used with lentils, cooked vegetables, they are essential for vizcaína, as well as for ajopollo. With crumbs, they are indispensable for gachas, spectacular when fried with eggs. In stews, casseroles, and roasts, with meats, with fish, in rice.
In short, for me they are absolutely essential; at the very least, they make a boiled potato, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and salt, a delight and look like a true queen on the plate. If there’s cod on top… I can’t say anything more.
