2003 Award Winning Recipe!
Joseph Donovan, Omaha, Nebraska
A specialty gardener and lover of fine regional wines and
cuisines, Joe discovered the Pequillo while in Spain visiting family friends with his wife Robin. This kaleidoscopic salad is superb with grilled pork. (Their adored Olde English Bulldogges, Brutus and Caesar, also love a taste of the pipiranna.)
Pipiranna (Treefrog) Salad
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1 Pequillo Pimento pepper
8 Milano plum tomatoes
1 skinned, seeded cucumber
1 large Spanish onion
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red sherry vinegar
Salt to taste
Dice the peppers, onions, cucumbers and tomatoes into a large salad bowl.
Mix the oil and red sherry vinegar together. Add it to the vegetables and
toss. Sprinkle salt over salad to taste. (For best results, use a good
Spanish extra virgin olive oil and
a quality Spanish reserva sherry vinegar.)
