    Striped Enjoya Pepper recipes are stunning and delicious! They're roasted with fish, layered in caprese, and are the perfect crunch when used as "bread" in a sandwich.  6 Enjoya Peppers lined up in rows of 3Have you tried an Enjoya pepper yet?

    You must!

    Have you seen one!? Off the screen, that is?

    You should definitely check out when I introduced them here, to see them in all of their glory.

    I have been so happy to be working directly with the Enjoya folks from Holland, creating a handful of unique  Enjoya pepper recipes, that are delicious and show off the beauty and unique aesthetic of these peppers.

    Where to Buy Enjoya Peppers

    I'm happy to report that these gorgeous peppers have become much more available.

    Enjoya peppers even hit Trader Joe's Markets! Since entering the U.S. marketplace just a few years ago, these beauties from Holland have mostly been in higher-end grocery stores, so I'm thrilled they'll be more accessible now.

    You should be able to find them in the west coast Trader Joe's markets. Just click on "stores" to find a Trader Joe's near you here.

    Keep your eyes peeled for them -- they're packaged like this . . .

    And my favorite thing about the Enjoya, is that they retain all of their stunning color and striped pattern, when they're roasted and peeled. In addition, their "meaty" texture isn't lost in this process.

    Just look at this . . .One whole roasted Enjoya pepper with stem on white plate.Below are images and links to a handful of my Enjoya pepper recipes.

    You can find the descriptions and detailed recipes on the Enjoya site, here -- or click on the recipe titles to jump over. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. 🙂

      My question is can I grow from seeds saved from one of these peppers?
      I dried them while in the USA and have germinated some nice looking seedlings.

        Hi Patsy, I haven't tried it, so I'm not certain, but it seems to me that if you've dried the seeds, and the soil and weather provide the right conditions, it should work. 🙂 Best of luck and let us know how it goes. 🙂 ~Valentina
