YES! I would love to grow some Rocotos here in 25 miles east of SF
inland towards Sacratomato!
We have dry hot weather and the chiles love it and so we! LOL
I absolutely love the flavour of the red and the yellow Rocotos. We
often eat at a local Peruvian restaurant where mama in the kitchen makes
a gorgeous dipping sauce from these.
I asked her about seeds, no, she takes a key and opens the pantry room
and shows me cans and jars of rocotos.
Amazonas Brand
Rocoto Sauce - Salsa de Rocoto
Rocotos - Aji Panca Salsa
These 7 1/2 ounce jars cost $2.29
plus large cans same brand of whole rocotos and Aji Panca both in yellow
and red which "mama" makes her sauces from :-)
It is chiles plus water and preservative-just pure wonderful flavor!
Oh wow is this ever great stuff. Found it at the local Hispanic market
in the Peruvian section near the purple corn for a favourite drink.
Now this Amazona is located in Sherman Oaks, CA
818 982-1377 phone

For any in the East Bay area this restaurant is in downtown Concord.
They serve awesome traditional Peruvian tamales-two kinds! Oh yum.
Something else Peruvian that is worth a try <BEG> Pisco Sour. LOL Ah
yessssss
