“It is traditionally fried in olive oil with sea salt and sometimes minced garlic. Peperoni di Senise peppers are to Italy the same as hatch Chiles are to New Mexico! Cooking the Senise peppers enhances their flavor and they can be cooked a little or until they are almost crispy! They have a very mild heat level and rich nutty flavor! The Senise chiles grow to almost 10 inches long and are about 2 inches in diameter at the stem. They ripen from green to red.”  Text from Refining Fire Chiles.
