Stuffed Roasted Peppers

The piquillo is the most popular pepper in Spain. When this transplanted chile from the Americas flourished in Navarra, its diminutive size was ideal for tapas, as if the fates saw it fit. The roasted pepper stuffed with meats, cheeses, or seafood is the perfect two-bite snack. Possibilities abound, but this surf-and-turf treatment from Valencia balances the sweetness of the pepper perfectly.
