GoingMyWay said:You're exactly right! They're serrano peppers. Lately I've found that jalapenos have no heat to them. Serranos definitely have some kick to them.
This is the recipe that I used:
I've found that it's not the lack of heat with Jalapeño peppers, but the lack of consistency of heat with Jalapeño peppers that most annoys me. That's the reason I've switched to Serrano, they may be hotter, but they are more consistent in their heat level, thus I can better modulate the heat level in the dishes that I cook using Serrano peppers.
With Jalapeño peppers, if I added 3 of them to a dish, they may be barely noticed, yet if I cook the same meal the next week, that meal may become almost inedible because of the heat. Unfortunately, this has also become the case with homegrown Jalapeños from the garden.
I'll be trying that Rick Bayless recipe tomorrow evening...thanks... [smile]...stay tuned.
