Lipstick
A tapered, thick-walled pepper that ripens early to a vivid, glossy red. Named for the colour, and the colour delivers. Sweeter than most, with thin skin that chars rather than going leathery. Excellent raw, even better roasted.
in the kitchen
Romesco sauce
Roast the peppers until blistered, blitz with toasted almonds, garlic, smoked paprika, sherry vinegar, and olive oil. Smoky, nutty, and goes with everything from grilled spring onions to fish.
