Guindilla Pepper Ristra – String of 200

This string or ristra of dried Spanish guindilla or chilli peppers looks beautiful hanging in any restaurant or kitchen. With 200 chillies, it has dramatic impact, and hangs with a beautiful elongated shape. The Spanish chilli peppers bring a mild heat and earthy depth to sauces and stews. 

The chillies also make a great seasoning when roasted. For a quick and moreish snack, de-seed a chilli, chop finely and toss with a little olive oil, add some marcona almonds, coating well, and roast in a hot oven for 5-10 minutes until golden-brown. Serve with a glass of sherry.
