Spanish term or phrase: ñora
O.K. I need one more translation. What in the world is ñora? I can't find it anywhere!

Inicialmente se doran las ñoras en un poco de aceite de oliva y se ponen en el vaso de batir, junto con los ajos pelados. Se agrega el azafrán en hebra y el aceite de haber frito las ñoras cuando esté a una temperatura tibia.

red pepper


Explanation:
Una ñora es un pimiento pequeño rojo seco. Las ñoras se dejan secar en la oscuridad en una ristra y normalmente se usa su carne después de tenerlas a remojo.
Mi madre cocina con ñoras y están muy ricas.

¡Que aproveche! Suerte.

dried red pepper (pimiento romesco)


Explanation:
Hi Katherine!

Here's what I found: it's a type of hot pepper, also called "pimiento romesco" or "pimiento de romesco".

http://www.cheeseshop.co.uk/faqcook.htm
"Dried red peppers, called ñora or pimiento romesco, are a staple ingredient in many South American and Spanish dishes. Because they're dried, there is very little flesh on them and they impart a wonderfully deep but mellow heat..."

It looks like it's more frequent to find it as "romesco", as in this link about "romesco sauce":
http://www.xrefer.com/entry/538184
"Romesco sauce: Spanish (Catalan); pungent red sauce made from small red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, olive oil, garlic, and cayenne pepper. From A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition, Oxford University Press"

Some more info in http://www.brindisa.com/vegetables.html

Hope this helps,
Andrea
