Use: For marinating meat, fish and seafood. Rocoto is good in casseroles and sauces and is also ideal in the ceviche and Nikkei kitchen. In southern Peru, you will eat rocoto relleno, filled with rocoto pepper, and the chilli is also ground to molido along with onions, olive oil and garlic.
Tip: Can be eaten directly from the glass or stirred into a delicious chilimayo or add it to your ceviche.
