Choricero Peppers
Choricero peppers (Spanish: Pimiento choricero) are a variety of red pepper (themselves a variety of the American species, ''Capsicum annuum'') that are dehydrated for preservation. They have become part of Spanish culture, so much so that their hydrated pulps are simply kept in glass jars for aesthetic purposes. A similar variety, known as peperoni cruschi, is cultivated in the Italian region of Basilicata. Culinary uses It is common to see these peppers hanging in Spanish kitchens. The drying allows them to last much longer in the open than raw pepper. They are hydrated a few hours before their culinary use for the purpose of extracting their intense red pulp. Their characteristic flavor made them popular in many dishes such as meats and stews of fish, vegetables, and meat, among others. They can also be dried, ground and used as a form of paprika.

Stew
A stew is a combination of solid food ingredients that have been cooked in liquid and served in the resultant gravy. A stew needs to have raw ingredients added to the gravy. Ingredients in a stew can include any combination of vegetables and may include meat, especially tougher meats suitable for slow-cooking, such as beef, pork, lamb, poultry, sausages, and seafood. While water can be used as the stew-cooking liquid, stock is also common. A small amount of red wine is sometimes added for flavour. Seasoning and flavourings may also be added. Stews are typically cooked at a relatively low temperature (simmered, not boiled), allowing flavours to mingle. Stewing is suitable for the least tender cuts of meat that become tender and juicy with the slow moist heat method. This makes it popular in low-cost cooking. Cuts having a certain amount of marbling and gelatinous connective tissue give moist, juicy stews, while lean meat may easily become dry. Stews are thickened by reduction ...
