Dried Ñora Peppers by Chiquilin

Pimientos ñora, is a red, round pepper of the “ball” variety, which is normally dried in the sun and used ground in countless dishes and products throughout all of Spain, but especially on the east coast. It is a versatile ingredient of Spanish cuisine that provides a distinctive color and flavor- a little sweet with an intense aroma, but without being spicy. It’s also very common to use whole dried ñoras by soaking them in hot water for 10-15 minutes to re-hydrate them. After that you can add it to a delicious “sofrito” base. Net weight 0.60 oz
