Corno di Toro peppers - Lava Red peppers
I use to start my Jimmy Nardello and Shishito sweet peppers inside under lights the first week of March but since they take so long to burgeon forth and rise out to tranplanting size , I started buying them from Agua Fria Nursery in the past few yr . When the nursery ran out of these cherubic peppers last spring , I was loll . Not only because they did n’t have those varieties but also because it consume peppers 8 - 10 weeks to spring up from ejaculate to transplanting size which is why one need to start them extremely early or corrupt in a nursery . I thought I had turn tail out of clock time .

My skilful friend , Lava , from Germany had save some odoriferous red pepper seeds that her son leave her from a sodbuster market in Germany . She described them as long carmine , sweet , thick walled peppers but did n’t sleep with the name . I had the seeds for a few years but did n’t hear them since I was hooked on the ‘ Jimmys ’ . In my desperation , I decided to seek to grow them out late . I grew four of them from her ejaculate and to my surprise , they are a type of Corno di Toro ( horn of the bull or bull ’s horn white pepper ) . We do n’t actually have it away which miscellanea of the Corno di Toro black pepper they are and there are several . I nominate this one Lava Red pepper after her . Corno di Toro Piper nigrum are named after their shape and are a case of Italian frying peppers that are gratifying greenish or red but if you let them reverse red , they are a minuscule bit sweeter .
Now at Harry ’s Roadhouse here in Santa Fe , I remembered ( seems so long ago ) they do some kind of mellisonant grill capsicum strips in their star sign salad which I love . So I decide to grill the Lava Red peppers as I now call them and take off the skin like what we do for our hot green chilies here in New Mexico . But before I grill them , I write some seeds to freshen up my supply of come for future role .
Notice I put one of those dessicant mailboat ( from my vitamin bottle ) in with the seeds to check that they are completely dry . Then I will remove it afterwards .

Normally they would be grill on the BBQ till the skins are dim and then cooled in cold water and the skins slide off from the peppers , leaving the sweet pepper gist . This steps takes a short more work but the flavor of the skinless common pepper is brilliant and well worth the effort .

The dark I wanted to grill them was way too cold out of doors ( in the 20 ’s ) to be remain firm by the BBQ so I resolve to grill them in my open fireplace in my house while I watched the World Series . I made a fire of cedar Sir Henry Wood and put a minor portable grillwork over the hot coals .
Then I sit around there and grilled my black pepper over the cedar wood ember . The sense of smell is rattling and the flavor of the capsicum is sweet-flavored and the cedar coal tally a insidious smoky subtlety to them .
After the peel are off , I put them on wax paper in layers an freeze them and take them out as needed .
I use them in scrambled eggs , on my salads , in sandwiches and I ’m sure there will be many other room to use them . I nonplus 5 lbs of grilled white pepper !

They are now one of my favorites . I wish the thick wall and sweet feeling . Is n’t it mirthful , I was forced to test something new and it turned out fantastic ! So try some Corno di Toro peppers next year , you wo n’t be disappointed ! you’re able to also eat this pepper in the buff as well !
