  • Piquillo Pepper-Stuffed Chicken with Green Olive Tapenade

    Piquillo peppers, descendants of Peru’s chile de arbol, require a long, hot, dry growing season, which fits Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley to a T. Gardeners and farmers get their piquillo pepper seeds from the Chile Pepper Institute at New Mexico State University or online from Peppermania. Piquillos are not edible raw; instead, they’re smoke-roasted over wood and then packed in brine in jars or cans. If you grow piquillos, simply smoke-roast them until they’re done. Banana peppers are a good substitute for the piquillo peppers, too.

  • Roasted Corn and Chorizo Chowder

    A smoky, peppery, hearty Spanish chowder that will warm you straight to the bones. Perfect for the end of summer, when the corn and tomatoes are at their peak and the evening wind holds a faint chill.
