#pepper

Hey, #gardening and #pepper crew! Got a question.

My partner's uncle bought me a Ghost Pepper plant. I'm more of a sweet pepper and jalapeno type.

My question: What do you use Ghost Peppers for outside of making hot sauces?

I plan on giving this thing a smaller pot to grow in so that I'm not overwhelmed by a huge number of hot peppers.

#pepper #gardening update:

The last frost was a few days ago and spring is in full bloom! It's a bit late this year, but I figured it's worth putting the seeds in late than never

Yesterday I put a variety packet in the small planter on my front porch, I figured they'd give a nice sight to people walking by

Just now, I cleaned out two out of the three "planters" I have in my back yard (poorly sawed plastic tubs) that I used for tomatoes last year. I put white habanero in one and multiple colors of cayenne in the other!

Tomorrow if the weather is nice I'll continue some outdoor gardening but otherwise I'll be doing some research online for some affordable grow lights, I'm looking to transform my (unfinished and ugly) basement into a psudo greenhouse

Easy Pepper Steak

Ingredients
Sauce
½ cup soy sauce low sodium
¼ cup rice vinegar or less, if you don't like the vinegar taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
2 tablespoon cornstarch
Stir Fry
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound flank steak sliced thinly against the grain
¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
½ teaspoon pepper freshly ground
1 medium onion sliced
1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
1 medium green bell pepper thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
Make the sauce
Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl combine all the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
Stir Fry
Prep the Steak: Season the flank steak with salt and pepper in a bowl.
Cook the Steak: Add 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil to a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and spread it evenly in the skillet. Cook for 1 minute without touching it, then use a spatula to stir the meat around. Continue cooking for another minute then transfer to a plate.
Cook Veggies: To the same skillet, add the remaining tbsp of vegetable oil and add the peppers and onions - cook for about 4 to 5 minutes or until softened.
Add Sauce: Return the beef to the skillet and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until the garlic is aromatic. Pour the sauce over everything. Stir and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until thickened.
Finish and Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds if preferred and serve over cooked rice.
