Whats pepperoncini?

Question

I know what pepperoni is but I just heard about a food called pepperoncini- is it similar to pepperoni?

Answer 1

The pepperoncini (Italian peperone, peperoncino), also known as Tuscan peppers, sweet Italian peppers, banana peppers, waxed peppers, and golden Greek peppers, is a variety of Capsicum annuum. The Italian varieties, grown in the Tuscany region of Italy, tend to be more bitter than their Greek counterparts. The more popular Greek varieties are sweeter and commonly found in pizzerias tossed in salads for a crunchy, salty taste. They grow on a bushy plant that reaches 30 inches (77 cm) in height and produces sweet green peppers that turn red when mature. Usually picked at 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) long, these bright green, wrinkled peppers taper to a blunt, lobed end and are very popular for pickling. These peppers are mild and sweet with a slight heat to them, and are commonly jarred for use in Greek salads and salad bars.

They are typically used in sandwiches, salads, and as a garnish for just about anything Italian.

you have to return them to the store and then use the money you got returning the pepperoncini peppers to buy Jalapeno peppers, because pepperoncini peppers and jalapeno peppers are two different things.

Answer 7

It's a banana pepper

Answer 8

no, a pepperoncini is a pepper similar to a jalapeno. Often found in Italian and Greek cooking, its kind of hot, but easy to snack on.

Answer 9

It's peperoncini - not pepperoncini.

It's peperoni - not pepperoni.

Peperoncini is just Italian for chili peppers. There are many varieties grown all over Italy, though not typical of every region's cuisine.

The Tuscan peperoncini are tiny, just slightly larger than the Thai bird chilies, and almost as hot.

The Calabrian peperoncini are larger, and similar to the Hungarian paprika chilies used in goulash: lots of colour and aroma, but not terribly "piccante".

Peperoni are bell peppers, green, yellow or red.

Answer 10

That would be a very good Greek pepper. They sell allot of them for use on salads. I love 'em.
