Good to know: Friggitelli Pepper

Let me tell you about the Friggitelli Pepper, and why the pan is its real home.

Take it whole, skin and all, and drop it into hot oil. Watch it: the skin blisters and goes glossy within moments, the whole pepper slumps and softens, and the kitchen fills with that sweet, roasted smell. Press it with the tongs and feel it give, soft all the way through. That is how you know it is ready. Leave the knife in the drawer for this one. Cut it up and fry the pieces, and what you get on the plate is just sad little strips, nothing like that one good whole pepper, blistered outside, sweet and soft inside, that you tear open with your fingers at the table.

Choose them firm and glossy, light green, with no soft spots. A dull, wrinkled skin means the pepper has been sitting too long, and it has lost the crisp freshness you are paying for.

Some people say a small pepper means a hot pepper. No! Bite into a raw Friggitelli Pepper and you will taste it: sweet, mild, nothing like a chili. Treat it like a chili, though, and you will find yourself deseeding and chopping a pepper that was only ever meant to go into the pan whole.
