How to include the Ñora in the Paella?
The Ñora is used mainly in stir-fries for rice dishes and paellas, fish stews and baked fish. For some recipes, they are soaked to later extract the pulp.
For the preparation of Paellas and rice, simply they are chopped and added to the sauce. The ideal time to add the Ñoras to the Paella is when we are cooking the stir-fry.
How to hydrate Ñora Peppers?
As the Ñora is dry, we need to rehydrate it to get all its juice and fleshy pulp.
The ideal method to extract all the pulp is to soak the Ñoras for 3 or 4 hours with water. As the peppers float, we will have to push them so that they sink into the water. You can use a taper filled with water and when you close the lid they will sink.
Use cold or warm water but do not use hot water since they can be cooked and we will lose part of their properties.
