Preparation & storage
Storage
Jalapeño peppers stay good longer if you store them properly. It is best to store the Jalapeño pepper shet outside the fridge at a temperature between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius.
You can also freeze the pepper. It will not lose its flavour.
How do I know if the pepper is no longer good? The pepper gives off a sour smell, becomes limp or mouldy. You can quickly recognise this decay by looking or smelling.
Preparation
Jalapeño peppers are very popular and widely used in Mexican cuisine:
- as a filling for tortillas and wraps
- on a veggie burger
- for Chipotle (smoked jalapeño pepper)
- stuffed with soft goat cheese
The seeds and seeds of peppers are the sharpest and spiciest. You can remove these before using.
