These innocent little peppers have a refreshing sweet grassy flavour like freshly picked asparagus, and are a specialty of Spain's North West region - so it is quite fitting that they are being grown here in the North West of England.

...but part of the fun and attraction of this Wild Spanish Tapas dish the 10-fold variation in chilli strength on a plant, which means that 1 in 10 could be a little less sweeter and a bit hotter than expected !!
