I seem to have become overstocked with jalape?os in jars (already sliced and kept in water/vinegar/salt/sugar) - obviously due to my gullibility in falling for supermarket "special offers."

They will keep but any ideas for incorporating them into Mamta's recipes?

Winton

Wonder if you could make a jalape?o raita?

You could add them to almost any bhaji/curry/salad/pizza/Mexican dishes John. They will be especially nice in vegetable bhajies I think.

And of course you can always add them to omelets and scrambled eggs!

I presume you already have too much chilli sauce as they would work well for that...

Steve

Oh, stuff 'em!!

Thanks for all your ideas.

Previously I was looking for inspiration to "use up a surplus" of jalape?os

Now I'm needing to go out and buy more!

Winton

LOL!

Do you do raclette?

I wonder whether they might work with that, instead of gherkins and pickled onions?

Phil

Phil, I've not tried but looking at various recipes I would have thought it would be an innovative and tasty alternative.

If you experiment let us know how you get on!

Winton

Winton: i'll give it a go with pickled green chilli peppers, which we get here in France.

Since we also have pickled gherkins and onions with raclette, it might work, but maybe it's a mix too far, given that raclette is Swiss?

Phil

I'd have thought that Jalape?os would work well in a lot of Indian dishes, but not sure about pickled ones though. They may be nice added to various raitas - or to Mamta's Karella Bhaji dish!

My Rocoto plant now has some ripe peppers on it, so I may experiment and try using a couple of those in an Indian curry over the next couple of days. They have a great flavour to them and can be quite spicy too.

It may be an idea to try adding some chopped pickled Jalape?os to lemon and curry leaf rice. I think that could work!
