The piquillo pepper is thinner, sweeter and more delicate than a bell pepper. Grilling brings out the pepper’s sweetness and adds a subtle smoky flavor. The piquillo’s red flesh and a cone-like shape-hence its name, “little beak” in Spanish-make the piquillo perfect for stuffing, so get creative and stuff these sweet peppers with your favorite soft cheeses, creamy chicken or tuna salads, Italian sausage… the possibilities are endless!
