Anaheim or New Mexican peppers are medium-hot peppers that are a major feature of Southwestern cooking. The mildly pungent fruit varies in color from light green to dark green to red. This tapered pepper grows to between 6 and 10 inches long and 1-2 inches around. The mature red peppers tend to be hotter than the green. Use these peppers fresh or dry to make decorative pepper chains to use as wall hangings.
Chef Jeff’s Tip for success: Use rubber gloves or clean hot peppers under running water to avoid skin burn from the juice.
