Recipe idea for your 'Time Bomb' F1 hot pepper harvest. Prepare a fresh salsa with a small piece of pepper, two ripe tomatoes, a bit of onion, and cilantro. Chop the vegetables separately so you can adjust the heat as you go. Remove the stem from the pepper and add a very small amount of the flesh to the salsa first. 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 beans. The color stage and the thickness of the flesh change the culinary result. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper holds its shape better. Cut pieces evenly to avoid having bites that are still firm next to parts that are overcooked.
