Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Good info, AJ. Of course if anyone desires more wonderful vegetarian recipe ideas for incorporating these spicy chiles, they can join your group.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Thanks, AJ, for this directory of peppers. I make tinctures and am always looking for the hottest peppers. Since I turned vegetarian about 10 months ago, I've lost about 50 pounds. Not all bad, but I'd like to stop losing weight. Anyone have any suggestions? Are any of you from Northeast Wisconsin? It would be nice to check out vegetarian eateries together. Thanks, Ellen , " AJ " <coolcook wrote: > > Turning on the Heat > > Chiles add more than heat to a full range of recipes.

Popular in Indian and Asian cooking. > > Cascabel: Spanish for " little round bell " or " rattle, " the dried chile packs medium heat and a nutty flavor. > > Guajillo: The Mexican chile has a medium heat level, making it more palatable for wider audiences. > > Habanero: Originating in Cuba, this popular chile is renowned as the hottest variety. Buried within the heat is a pleasant flavor similar to apricots. > > Pasilla: The wrinkly, dark-brown dried chile is mildly hot and ideal for sauces. > > Poblano: The broad-shaped, dark-green, almost black chile has a rich flavor that ranges from mild to feisty. When dried, its leathery skin is reddish-brown and referred to as an ancho. It can be mild or pungent with a slightly fruity flavor. > > Scotch bonnet: Light green, yellow or red, the Caribbean native is related closely to the habanero but has a less fiery demeanor. > > Serrano: This Mexican green chile packs a powerfully hot punch but becomes sweeter as it matures to red. > > Togarashi: Small, hot, red Japanese chile also called ichimi. Available fresh or dried (flakes and powder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Cayene Pepper will turn up the heat, but is the only hot pepper that won't eat up the stomach lining. I'm glad to know this, since I love hot things. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I am from Madison. Not northeast, but WI none the less. Val Are any of you from Northeast Wisconsin?
