I will be trying this.....
Interesting, the only Rocoto's I've seen in NZ have been a fraction of the size of those ones.
I have only seen them in Peru
Not available. Chimmichuri is. I love Toronto food!
Peruvian food is spectacular.
Had them with fiddle head fern heads. Ramps again. I am going to stuff them with chorizo and cheese grits. I have a bunch of hydro spinach to utilize also. The stalks are ready and bitter. i cook it like chard with a ham hock and vinegar some butter. Worcestershire sauce also...
Stuffed with crab and homemade Sweet Garlic Naan. My Korean friends cook the best Naan. Curry fried whole chickens ftw! Yogurt and ramp Naans, I have to buy me a Korean Egg!
Brownies stuffed with potatoes. feta like cheese, chorizo, rice, and riccoto peppers. The chef took the put the fish right on the grill when the chorizo was done he put them on the fish and small amounts of grease soaked into the fish and potatoes. It was pretty awesome. Mashed up yams with mango salsa on them. Little corn masa cakes or whatever they were. The rice was the best I ever had. Light nutty taste that went so well with the peppers and yams.
The rivers and streams here are so full of Brown Trout we could eat them everyday. If you could fish everyday....

Need more details. Are they hot? What is their flavor like?
Obviously, I'm not going to find them in these parts, but they look tasty!

Reasonable amount of heat.... not as hot as Habanero but hotter than Thai's
fleshy and quite sweet flavourwise.

Around here Thai peppers are hotter than habaneros...
Sounds perfect!
Thai peppers are my favorite flavor-wise! And I love the heat.
So... where are these native? Maybe there is some ethnic grocery store around, I am in the most diverse (and coincidentally, most "dangerous") city in the state...
Really?
A Thai is normally 50-100,000 scoviles
A Roccoto/Manzano is 125,000 - 250,000
And a Hab depending on which variant is like anywhere from 125,000 - 500,000
Mind you there are so many sub variants of all the most common chilli's these days they could be damn nearly any heat.
I like it hot, hot hot
