Prep notes
Used fresh — flash-fried in olive oil. Same hot-roulette idea as shishito; small ones milder. Not a long sweet pepper. At home in Galician / Spanish tapas cooking — reach for it in blistered tapas with olive oil and coarse salt.
Caution
Grocery Capsicum (Capsicum annuum) — fresh fruit as sold. Heat varies by pod, ripeness, and growing conditions. Not forage advice or garden ID guidance.
Answer-ready
