Cooking illiterate here. I bought some habaneros a week or so ago because I like spicy stuff. I don't really know what the fuck to do with them but I want to put them on my turkey sandwiches. Do I just cut them in half and throw them in there or is there some better method for more flavor/spice?
> Do I just cut them in half and throw them in there
Yeah sure, go for it
Let us know how it goes

Finely chop one and mix it with mayo, or mustard, or whatever, and then use it as a spread. Or mince one up and make a relish with diced onion and tomato.
Plain, they can take me out of my comfort zone heat wise, so I prefer to just chop / slice one or two and adding them to whatever I'm cooking, as that dissipates the heat a bit.
Great peppers, though.

That's what I do.
make sure to activate them first by rubbing them in your eyes
Just use them like you would use a jalapeno
You can't fuck this up:
Finely dice habanero, discard seeds and stem.
In a small cooking pot, add one cup of water and one cup of sugar, with your diced habanero.
Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce heat and let summer for five minutes, stirring frequently.
Pour that shit on your chicken or Turkey sandwich.

Just so you known what youre making: it's a habanero glaze for chicken. It's sticky as fuck.

Also its technically a syrup or candy so don't boil it too hard or you'll get hard rock candy.

Make a hot sauce.
Take 7-8 Habaneros, 1 cup of diced carrots, 1/2 cup diced onions, 1 tomato, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 1 cup of pineapple, 2 table spoons of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of lime juice, 1/2 cup of water, 1 cup distilled vinegar.
Add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a sauce pan and bring to medium heat. Saute your hard ingredients for 25min on medium heat or until soft. Blend down into a fine puree, and add back to medium-low heat. Mix in your liquids, sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes and blend one more time.
Allow to cool to room temperature and either strain into jars, or keep solid and leave it chunkier for more flavor (i prefer this way)
>Jalapenos and Cayenne peppers are coming in
>still bot Habaneros yet

Try to mince it up into small pieces and put it in the water when you cook rice.
Tasted amazing last time i did it.

My grandma cuts them in half, heats them on a pan, and rubs corn tortillas on the mashed pepper as a snack. Toppings optional.
I accidentally made french toast after that without a proper scrubdown, and the results were surprisingly delicious. Don't underestimate bright, spicy flavor, it'll go on anything.
