Nora Peppers

Small, round, and sun-dried, Ñora peppers are a cherished ingredient in Spanish cooking, particularly in the cuisine of Murcia and Valencia. These deep red peppers bring a sweet, slightly smoky flavour with very little heat—perfect for building richness and depth in stews, sauces, and rice dishes.

Traditionally used in paella, romesco sauce, and chorizo seasoning, Ñoras are rehydrated by soaking in warm water, then scraped for their tender, flavour-packed flesh. Their mildness allows them to add complexity without overwhelming other ingredients.

Serving suggestion: Soak, deseed, and blend with garlic, almonds, and olive oil for a bold romesco sauce—delicious with grilled vegetables or fish.

Heat level: Very mild
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Naturally gluten-free.
