Found a new Mexican grocery. I needed some Achiote paste so we stopped to check it out. Saturday I watched an episode of Pati's Mexican Table where she made a halibut dish using 5 peppers. One of which was a yellow chili pepper called a Manzano. I'd never seen these before. Wouldn't you know it, guess what I found in their produce section?



On the Scoville Scale they are between 12,000 to 30,000 units. Hotter than a serrano. They are also called The Apple Chili. My first use of this chili will be in a Pico de Gallo for our tacos this week.

Manzanos are good. I've also had them pickled, very nice as an appetizer. The name comes 'Manzana", the Spanish word for apple and they do look like apples. They don't taste anything like them though.
