Pequin Chillies, Mexico
£2.70
In terms of heat, the tiny Pequin chilli from the Andes is almost up there with the Jamaican scotch bonnet and the Habanero. Its flavour is citrussy, woody and a little smoky. It can be used in hot chilli sauces, salsas, stews, bean dishes, Hispanic, Indian and Asian cuisines. Due to the Pequin’s heat, a little goes a long way.
Be careful with this one – the heat is slow to take effect, but once there it lingers for a long time!
