A Basque acquaintance recently served her mother's Piperade recipe, and I LOVED it. I've found what appears to be an authentic recipe on line, but it calls for 1/8 teaspoon of piment d'Espelette, which I understand is a pepper. Is this something found in one's local grocery store, or will I need to find a specialty shop/on-line? Does it come in a jar?
Is there something similar that I could substitute? Here's the recipe:
1/2 cup olive oil
1 small onion, finely sliced
6 anaheim chiles, seeded and finely sliced
6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
6 ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon piment d'Espelette
1 bay leaf
salt and freshly ground white pepper
Heat olive oil in large saute pan over med-high heat. Add chiles, onion & garlic and cook 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, piment d'Espellete & bay leaf. Season with salt & pepper & bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat & simmer 25-30 minutes. Remove & discard bay leaf.
