Hot Peppers
The reds, oranges, yellows, browns, and greens are so vibrant this time of year. These were the colors of the peppers on display at my local farmer’s market. The bell pepper, pablano, Thai chili, scotch bonnet, and habanero are just a few of the varieties available (listed in order of increasing zip). There is an exciting world of pepper possibilities that reaches far beyond that green bell pepper we all grew up with. Why not add yellow and red bell peppers to a salad or an omelet? Pablano peppers would be a great addition to a chicken stir-fry. How about using Thai chili peppers with sautéed shrimp? And for the truly adventuresome, make a jerk chicken, which incorporates scotch bonnet peppers. Peppers are fun, colorful and tasty – try something new.
