What to do with 3 pieces of Chinense type peppers?

siling_labuyo · Apr 20, 2011

I am going to harvest 3pcs(yes only 3 chinenses pcs, and I'm lucky to have three). I want to put them into good use. I don't want to throw them again inside my vinegar bottle.

Any recipe suggestions?

Thanks in advance

A stew or a really hot curry. You could candy them.

I usually make my own curry pastes with a mortar and pestle.
If you use chinense chillies or any chillies really, because of texture and size and all that, remove the seeds and pith and pound them into the curry paste FIRST. Then follow your recipe the same afterwords - homemade curry pastes with mortar and pestle are indeed awesome, you should try it!

Stir-fry?
Hot sauce?
Curry?
eat them whole?
candy?

Or even fry them up with a bit of oil so they crisp up and become crunchy! (cut them into strips/julienne first) and then eat them as a snack or a side-dish to dinner...

With just 3 peppers I'd put them on a sandwich or salad, or simply chop them into whatever you're cooking.

They'd be good diced on top of a nice bowl of chili.

Mince them and throw them in your favorite dip.

They'd be awesome on a BLT.

BURGERS!!

Hot aioli.

Spice-up a hearty soup.

Smash them into the face of your ex-wife.

...I kinda liked the ex-wife idea, but that sounds good too.

Franz gave me some fresh pods so I decided to make hotsauce.

Thanks again for your inputs.
