So many kinds of chili peppers. What's a good way to try them out? This from Patricia Gadsby with the Falmouth Farmers' Market. It offers a way to explore the flavor and heat of chili peppers in measured amounts - a little or a lot - all in the same recipe.
This recipe is a minty-fresh, cooling yogurt-based sauce, kicked up with a little (or a lot of) chili. Experiment with different kinds of chili peppers to find one(s) that best suit your palate. You can serve with fish, grilled vegetables and meat, or mop it up with flat breads like pita and naan.
Mint-Cilantro-Chili Yogurt Sauce Ingredients:
Procedure:
Note: This recipe is extremely flexible. If you want it hotter, add more chili peppers, chopping very fine. If you like it milder, stir in more yogurt.
Enough for 4-6.
Thanks, Patricia. Nice recipe.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Rooster
One of our customers was visiting from his native Bangladesh. We got into a conversation about chilies in Asia, and he introduced us to ema datshi, the national dish of Bhutan. It's a combination of chilies and cheese that is served with almost every meal in Bhutan. Very hot. Very flavorful. A little Internet searching [...]

In the fall of this year, we were interviewed for a video segment on Falmouth Community TV by Basia Groszczynska. The resulting segment was broadcast on FCTV starting December 23. During the interview, we described our chili pepper growing operations; we also described our plans for an aquaponic system to experiment with one aspect of [...]
Winter's comin'! Temps in the low 30s. Gotta act. Gotta act now! We have more chili plants than can fit into our greenhouse. We also have plans for an aquaponic system in our greenhouse, which further limits the available space. So, what to do? Move some of the plants to another greenhouse and retire the rest. [...]
