Recipe idea for your 'Arapaho' F1 hot pepper harvest. Prepare a fresh salsa with a small piece of pepper, two ripe tomatoes, a little onion, and cilantro. Chop the vegetables separately so you can adjust the heat as you go. Remove the stem from the pepper 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 beans. The color stage and flesh thickness will change the cooking result. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a meaty pepper holds its shape better. Cut the pieces uniformly to avoid having firm bites alongside overcooked parts.
