Handling the Habanero
Behold the much-maligned Habanero pepper!
Unabated, its assertive heat can be too much to handle, but with a little cautious prep work, the unique flavor profile of the Habanero can be enjoyed without the pain usually associated with this bright and robust chile pepper.
- Wash pepper, and cautiously slice in half lengthwise. (You may consider wearing gloves if your skin is sensitive to capsaicin, the active ingredient in peppers.)
- With a sharp, small, paring blade, remove seeds, and white pith along the interior ribs of each half.
- Slice into lengthwise strips, and then slice across strips, yielding a mince that enhances, yet does not overpower.
