Roasted Chando Peppers

"But a taste this bold don't need nothin' too fancy to help it shine through. So these days, I'm more likely to simply roast up my chandos and serve'em alongside another dish in dire need of an extra boost in flavor."

- Strono Tuggs

Roasted Chando Peppers was a dish that contained roasted strips of orange chando peppers, which were a sweet variety of pepper that originated from the planet Chandrila. The dish also contained a smaller green vegetable. At some point following the Battle of Takodana in 34 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Roasted Chando Peppers in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook.

In the book, Tuggs claimed that while working at Takodana Castle on the planet Takodana he had usually used chando peppers to make fruit jelly; however, since the castle had been destroyed he had prefered generally roasted them instead and served them alongside other dishes that needed additional flavor.

Behind the scenes
Roasted Chando Peppers was created as a recipe for the 2019 cookbook Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, which was written by Marc Sumerak and Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. The out-of-universe recipe requires two orange bell peppers that have been halved, seeded and stemmed, two tables spoons of white wine vinegar, a splash of lemon juice, two tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of honey, half a teaspoon of dried sage, a pinch of pepper and a tablespoon of rinsed capers.

To prepare the dish, the peppers are first roasted till soft then cut into long thin slices with the skin peeled off. The vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, sage and pepper are then combined and then cooked with the peppers. Finally, the capers are added and cooked for a further minute before the dish is ready to serve.
