Amando (2)

[Dave2006]

I have just tried another Amando chilli,it's pretty hot, got a bit of a sweat on, a couple in a curry would make it interesting.

Pretty sure they will be a bit hotter if left another month as I don't think they are fully ready.

Don't think I will be playing silly buggers with the super hot varieties anytime soon but know I am going to end up trying to grow another one that is a little hotter.

If you like the taste of the pepper but are wary of the heat levels here's a good trick when it comes to soups/stews/sauces/gravies.
As you are cooking take a pepper and poke a few holes in it with a fork then toss it in the pot. It will leach out a little heat as it's cooking but not a lot. Just before serving time, test the heat level. If it's non or barely existent you can give the pepper a little squeeze to release a little more heat and flavor. Don't forget to stir it in before tasting again. Continue until you reach the level you like and then remove the pepper.

That's great advice thank you very much.
