Uses of choricero peppers in the kitchen:
The most frequent use given to choricero peppers in cooking is in all stews and dishes with Biscayan sauce such as the well-known bacalao a al vizcaína, but it is also widely used in patatas a la riojana, ajoarriero (traditional Basque cuisine), cod kokotxas, marmitako (stew with cod), etc. The choricero pepper is widely used in the north of the peninsula, especially in the Basque Country. Normally, being a dehydrated product is quite recommendable to moisten it before use in the kitchen, it is enough to put the peppers to be used in the recipe in a saucepan with warm water for an hour. In particular, the choricero pepper, once moistened you can remove the outer skin and separate it from the "meat" of the pepper itself with a spoon as this is the part that is actually going to be used for cooking.
The choricero pepper, a classic in Basque recipes.
Many of the most traditional and exquisite recipes of Basque cuisine have a common ingredient that gives our dishes the final touch to turn them into a delicacy. The most common image we have of the chorizo pepper is in units that form a string as we have in the section Horallo de Oros strings. To use the flesh, it is necessary to previously extract the seeds while heating some water. When it is lukewarm, submerge the product for a quarter of an hour or half an hour to hydrate
Do not confuse the choricero pepper with the ñora.
In this regard, it should be borne in mind that the choricero pepper common in Basque lands can not be confused with the ñora, more typical of Levante. The former has a more elongated shape and has a sweet and somewhat acidic flavour. Moreover, only the pulp of this product is used
The ñora, on the other hand, is smaller and rounder, with a thicker, semi-fleshy skin and more seeds inside. Its flavour is much sweeter and its colour more intense, partly because its peel is used to give dishes a very striking red colour. It is convenient to know this difference to hit with the flavor that we want to give our dishes
Advantages of chorizo peppers as dehydrated products
