For this classic popular dish, there are as many recipes as there are Basque cooks. The peppers traditionally used, pimiento choricero, are longish red peppers, which are roasted for a smoky taste. Piquillo peppers are a good substitute and are available canned or in jars in most supermarkets. In a pinch, roasted red peppers and a dash of red pepper flakes will give the appropriate flavor.
