Is there an English word for the Spanish pepper called Ñora?
I have translated the following from Wikipedia
The ñora is a cultivated variety of Capsicum annuum or pepper, called "bola" in Alicante and Murcia, where it became popular. It is small in size, round in shape and red in color when ripe, and is then left to dry in the sun. It has a sweet flavor and is widely used in the gastronomy of the Spanish Levante, especially in the Region of Murcia, the Valencian Community (Alicante) and in Catalonia.
Best Answer
Almost certainly not. They look and sound a lot like cherry peppers, aka pimiento peppers, but are apparently a distinct cultivar. With the exception of commercially important (“Maris Piper”) or widely renowned (“Honeycrisp”) names, cultivars tend to be quite local in penetration, and are unlikely to have translations in other languages.
You’d probably do fine to substitute cherry peppers, if you’re trying to make a particular recipe which calls for them.

To use whole dried noras, soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes to re-hydrate them. (Pierce them first so they don't just bob around on top of the water.) Scrape the rich flesh off the inside of skins and add to sauces, rice dishes, broths, etc. for a warm, earthy, unmistakeably "Spanish" flavor.What is Nora in cooking?
