Piquillo peppers, the highly-prized variety of red pepper typical of Navarre, have brought fame and renown to the villages and towns around the area where it is grown. It is a small, meaty pepper. Its taste is slightly sweet and has a subtle roasted flavour. It is traditional to prepare them in an ovenproof pan, on which the whole peppers are placed together with some extra virgin olive oil and sliced garlic. They need to be cooked on a low flame on both sides. The pan is carefully shaken every now and then to allow the peppers to release their natural gelatine. It is also very popular to eat them stuffed with hake, anglerfish, haddock and shellfish.
