The Galician tapas pepper, picked small and fried whole in good oil until blistered, then scattered with sea salt. Mild and nutty — though the old saying holds that roughly one in ten will catch you out.
Prolific, forgiving and quick to crop, which makes it a genuinely good first chilli for anyone who has never grown one.
