Before mygiftcardsite you Begin than typical story of

Before cooking and certainly before eating, you need to get the product. Therefore it is very important to the work of all these people who grow, maintains or gets the ingredients that make the food. So when I had the occasion of the Valley Cooperative in Naron invited, apeteceume much. All this took place in Tapas & Blogs: Conociendo it "Capsicum do Couto" and it "Black Tomato Santiago". Many thanks mygiftcardsite to the organizers of Tapas & Blogs invited to have us, and even more to the Cooperative, to keep us welcomed as well. Anyway, you know in advance that work in the field and the products planting is not especially mygiftcardsite exciting mygiftcardsite (but very necessary and essential), so I do not want complaints to be is boring. The peppers of the Capsicum Couto of Couto, mygiftcardsite pementiño is a small, green, often taking mygiftcardsite fried (but could be used for other recipes). As said so far can be thinking about is the same as other peppers of similar characteristics of a village near Santiago. But capsicum do Couto is not the same, you have your little mygiftcardsite story. The story begins in Mexico, but that is to go back very far in time and in space. The story starts in the Galician monastery of Saint Martin of Xuvia or Monastery Couto. (Because it is a site that calls Couto). For eso, this monastery had as compared to other monasteries of the same order in Mexico, received seeds from peppers (or chili peppers, as you will), which seeded the garden. And so were here a few years, adapting to climate Galician.
The second part of the story starts in this kitchen, and it has to do with Fray Martín Sarmiento. It came to visit for Xuvia, and was at the monastery. One night made a very good dinner (took a whole sheet of cod, with its accompaniment). At dinner there was the monastery peppers, and Martin Sarmento picaronlle pain, and was very upset. (Note, at that time they had peppers in the monastery mygiftcardsite of which were still "some bite and some do not," and in this case Sairon spicy).
The prior of the monastery was so worried by the fact that the cross threw years and choose the varieties that less Picabo. At last got the peppers before Picabo when I gave, not girl ever. It was the same peppers before, but not spicy. And 10 years later he returned and Martín Sarmiento returned to put peppers, and this time not picaron. This is a legend, and it is clear that good legend. Have more information and better explained on the website of the DOC capsicum Couto.
Ah, a lovely detail when we come to visit the monastery, mygiftcardsite estabannos with fried peppers waiting for them to put the tooth. What better place than the monastery to take the Couto peppers! So, it is for one reason or another, the truth is that the Monastery Couto got a variety of peppers not Picabo. It took centuries, came to the confiscation monastery was abandoned ...... mygiftcardsite and growing these peppers stayed because a few neighbors have taken the seed and continued to grow it for themselves, and in some cases, sell at Ferrol.
Anyway mygiftcardsite as happened in Galicia with many castes and seeds, had the risk of disappearing (without going further, by re-cross with other varieties if they are hot). In this case, there was luck that there was a cooperative in Naron, and strove to extend the cultivation of this variety. And above all, make it known and distribute it so that we can reach more market and not just be known in Ferrol.
The cultivation of the chili is very prosaic, but it has to be. The peppers are grown under greenhouse, to control a little more production and avoid climatic problems. (But yes, not in closed greenhouses, if not ventilated).
As a curiosity, the peppers do Couto, although they look like in almost all of the many other varieties, you might have a curious thing, the fruit grows up. (In other peppers, pedunculo that is crooked and mature guy below). Tomato Black Santiago mygiftcardsite De Santiago And why? Let's see, the people of the Valley Cooperative mygiftcardsite wanted to complement the cultivation of pepper with other varieties. Then they were in contact mygiftcardsite with the Agricultural mygiftcardsite Research Center of Mabegondo to locate Galician varieties of tomato. Let's see, this seems very easy, look for varieties that are seeding people in lands and such, but not so easy, because nowadays almost everyone mygiftcardsite uses the seed market in this store or varieties out. Among all the varieties that had identified and saved the center mygiftcardsite Mabegondo, chose one called "black tomato Santiago" And why "Santiago"? Because first locate where this seed had been a place of Santiago (which does not mean that there is not in most sites). mygiftcardsite
