Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'Pot-A-Peno' F1 hot pepper harvest. Prepare a fresh salsa with a small piece of chili, 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 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 garnish with tacos, grilled vegetables, or a plate of rice and beans. The color stage and flesh thickness change the culinary result. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper holds its shape better. Cut pieces evenly to avoid firm bites alongside overcooked parts.
