"Piment d' Anglet/Doux long des Landes/Chipara |
A superb light green Basque spicy fryer. When ripe red a choricero type and used for color and flavor in chorizo.
|
The pepper favorite of Bhutan. Spicy, dark green with purple flashes, used in their traditional dish sauteed in oil and served with warm fresh cheese curd.
|
A long dark green twisted Basque fryer. A favorite for piperade always sweet and tender. Most similar to pimentos de Padrón in flavor. |

*New this year"These peppers have conquered the hearts of entire populations of their respective countries. They will add unique flavor to any dish they are used in.
We were sent this recipe for the Bhutan Shaerma pepper dish Ema Datshi "I would add a note that we just fried the chopped whole peppers in olive oil until tender and added fresh cheese curd instead of the Feta and it was delicious though not authentic Bhutanese. Cheese is a vital ingredient as lactose attaches to some of the capsasin and reduces the piquancy. Red rice is rumored to be available in SF, but basmati rice is in our cupboard and everyone loved the dish." http://thinley.tripod.com/recipe/Herbivore.html |
We have color! Lisa Baynes recognizes us as artists of the pepper in the 7/11 Chronicle. All our jumbo bells are in full production now. Red, orange, yellow, chocolate, lavander, white, cubanells in colors and several of our hot types are now in!
We are coming back to the Marin Civic Center Sunday Farmers Market this week.
Pimientos have been slow for the last couple weeks due to our foggy mornings.
We have sold out at all our markets regularly. This might also be because everyone wants to embrace their Spanish connections since the World Cup. Whatever the reason for the increased demand don't wait till the last minute to get yours! We have found the easiest way for our customers who order the peppers shipped is to prepay the order by check or send us an email with all the information we need to figure your price (address,quantity, date requested ect.) and we can give you the amount to send us or if you want on the ship list immediately we can send you a request for payment from paypal (will include a small transaction fee of about 3%) |
