Spain Pimientos del Piquillo al Ajo (Garlic Peppers)
Piquillo ("little beak") peppers are a favorite and simple appetizer and recipe ingredient when they are in season (September and October). Often, they are simply pan-roasted whole with a bit of salt and no oil, but they can also be part of more elaborate appetizers or traditional tapas. They may, for example, be stuffed, usually with cheese or seafood. Recipe Serving: Serves 4
