Pepper Lombardi


Pepper Lombardi

Bought half a dozen of this pepper seedlings in Italy,  pepper is for me one of the most difficult seed to germinate. They produce pale green thin peppers, thinner than the small finger. They have very thin skin and best suited to eat whole.
I tried pickling in vinegar, salted and eaten raw, but the best is actually baked, and fast to serve too.
Shake the pepper, whole, with some olive oil, bake at 180˚C for 10 minute when they go soft, sprinkle a little salt and serve.

The whole pepper is soft to eat and have a mild sweetness, once in a while one of the pepper will have a hint of spiciness.
