Grilled Piquillo Peppers

Grilling a piquillo pepper adds an extra dimension of smoky flavor to the pepper’s delicate, thin, sweet flesh. More slender and cone-shaped than a bell pepper, the piquillo’s shape is the origin of its name, which means “little beak.”  That cone is a great place to put stuffings, including chopped hard-boiled egg, small pasta or seasoned rice.
