Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Chili' F1 patio hot pepper harvest. Prepare a fresh salsa with a small piece of chili, two ripe tomatoes, a little onion, and cilantro. Chop the vegetables separately so you can adjust the heat as you go. Remove the pepper's stem and start by adding a very small amount of flesh to the salsa. Mix with lime juice and a pinch of salt, then taste before adding more. Wear gloves when handling hot peppers and avoid touching your face. Serve this topping with tacos, grilled vegetables, or a plate of rice and cooked beans. The color stage and the thickness of the flesh change the culinary outcome. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper holds its shape better. Cut the pieces evenly to avoid having firm bites next to overcooked parts.
