The Rocoto chilli pepper, also known as Rojo, Locoto and Capsicum Pubescens, is a round, spicy, red of colour, with a thick and firm skin. It may look like a bell pepper or an apple in shape, but don’t be mistaken, because this chilli pepper is quite spicy. It has meaty walls with a crisp, fruity and juicy inside. Originally it comes from the Andes Mountains in Peru and is a must in Peruvian cuisine. The chilli peppers have distinctive black seeds.
The Rocoto is often used in salsas, ceviche, stews or hot sauces. Another well-known Peruvian dish is Rocoto relleno, in which the peppers are stuffed. Click here for Katinka Lansink’s recipe.
