Brick-red espelette pepper is coveted in gastronomy for a decided peppery flavor that’s also delicate, and fruity, making it ideal to add to everything from savory sauces to baking treats.
Use espelette to finish sauces like Ragu, mayo or cream based sauces like béarnaise or aioli, or sprinkle over polenta, pasta or risotto, seafood and meats, and you’ll find it a great, unexpected partner to fine dark chocolate.
