Urfa Biber From Pepper Lover

Urfa biber (also known as isot pepper) is a dried Turkish chili pepper of the type Capsicum annuum cultivated in the Urfa region of Turkey. It is often described as having a smoky, 'raisin-like' taste.[1] Urfa biber is technically a red pepper, ripening to a dark maroon on the plant. The peppers go through a two-part process, where they are sun-dried during the day and wrapped tightly at night. The night process is called 'sweating', and works to infuse the dried flesh with the remaining moisture of the pepper.[2] The result is an appearance ranging from deep purple to a dark, purplish black. Urfa biber is less spicy than many other chili peppers, but provides a more lasting build of heat.
Traditionally used in Turkey in meat and savoury foods.[3]

I wonder how those would be stuffed with cheese on the grill. Would be interested to see them reviewed as they are prepared in their native country by sun drying and wrapping. I wonder if then you would taste the smokey raisin taste. That just sounds really good to me.
