1st Beaver Dam pepper of the season

[TXCG]

I gave my best friend's dad some extra seedlings I had this year, and so far the beaver dam one has 5-6 really large peppers on it. Unfortunately none of mine survived, but he gave me the first one to start to turn color on his plant since I was in town today. I'm going to cook it for lunch tomorrow, but I can't decide how. My girlfriend suggested slicing it and sauteing it in olive oil like a bell pepper. Or should I even cook it or just eat it fresh? Any suggestions?

I recommend filling it with monterrey jack cheese and a little salt and grilling it!

Man, this is a seriously good tasting pepper. It is super sweet but has a nice subtle heat that bell peppers lack. I ended up eating half of it raw and slicing the rest in strips and sauteeing it with a bit of olive oil & fresh oregano from the garden. Absolutely divine with the leftover smoked salmon from yesterday.

This is a must grow pepper for next season
