Dried ñora pepper
A dried pepper used in small amounts to add aroma, colour and depth to dishes.
What it offers and why to use it
A concentrated aromatic profile that can be warming, hot, sweet, earthy or smoky, depending on the seasoning.
From shopping to cooking
Choose
Choose dried ñora peppers with a good aroma and colour in dry, closed packaging. Avoid moisture, insects or rancid smells.
Store
Keep airtight in a cool, dry, dark place. Whole spices retain their aroma longer than ground ones.
Prepare
Add gradually. Briefly warming in a little fat can release aromas, but avoid burning, which creates bitterness.
How to make the most of it
Good pairings
Pairs with sautéed vegetable bases, vegetables, pulses, rice, meat, fish, sauces and marinades.
How to substitute it
Replace ñora with a pepper or seasoning of similar flavour, adding gradually: intensity and heat are not equivalent.
