José Andrés Foods Sweet Piquillo Pepper Confit, 4.4 oz($31.03Value)

Description

Piquillo Peppers are picked by hand and roasted over an open beechwood fire. The skin is then carefully removed before the smoky peppers are combined with red wine and pure cane sugar, and the mix is gently simmered in small batches. To make this delicate confit, only the most perfect piquillo peppers are picked by hand, leaving the younger ones behind to ripen a bit longer. From there, they are brought to the kitchens at Rosara – just down the road from the fields where they are picked – to be roasted over an open beechwood fire. The charred skin is then carefully removed by hand before the smoky peppers are combined with red wine from Navarra and pure cane sugar. The mix is gently simmered in small batches, and the result is a perfect balance of sweet wine and savory vegetables, great for pairing with goat cheese or foie for an astonishing tapa. Try it with your favorite cut of sirloin, alongside grilled duck or in salad dressed with Pedro Ximenez sherry vinegar.
