Long Hot Pepper Recipe Notes:
Ingredient Notes: *
Long Hot Peppers: These peppers are HOT! If you do not like spicy food, then these peppers are not for you. Long hot peppers are very long, and they vary in size. Depending on the size and how many you pick up, the quantities of the ingredients you need may vary.
You could substitute these for with mild peppers β like the mini bell peppers. If you use mini bell peppers, you only need to cut open down the middle.
If you want to keep it vegetarian, you can omit the prosciutto.
Notes for Instructions: **
Since these peppers are so HOT, be careful while handling β wear gloves if you have them or wash your hands after handling them. The stems and seeds of the peppers make the spice level higher. I usually canβt handle that level of heat, so I remove and prepare as above. If you like the heat, you can always keep them in.
Pairings:
This Long Hot Pepper Recipe is great to serve at parties or gatherings. It goes great with Italian or BBQ food. It also pairs nicely with some dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
Food Prep:
To save some time, you can assemble the peppers ahead of time and refrigerate. Then pop them in the oven and roast when you are ready to serve.
