Pepper Sweet, Arroz Con Pollo

80 days. Originated in eastern Cuba. Another Caribbean “seasoning pepper!” Looks like a habanero but remove the seeds and there is no heat, just delicious flavor. Two or three will season a whole quart of dry beans when cooked. Plants have high yields, best harvested orange to red. For an authentic Cuban recipe, sauté with onion, garlic, annatto, and add with fresh chopped cilantro to a pot of beans.
