Pepper Stew

[dirtking]

Found this on the internet and made it during our last cold snap - It was really good! I brought the left overs to work and got asked for the recipe a few times. I have since made it again for the family I was staying with "down south" and they raved about it. If you like life a little spicy - give it a try.

looks great but we like about 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. how hot is this? I'd love to make it.

The stuff I made in Phoenix was maybe about that 4 to 5 level - but when I tried a slice of the jalapeno it tasted like the green pepper. The stuff I made here in MN was probably an 7 or 8 - But that jalapeno burnt my tongue. The stew wasn't hot on my tongue/mouth so to say but my bald spot sweat a little as I ate it!

On web site I found it on, one of the comments said they left the jalapeno out and it was still good. I'd try that if I were you eyeguy. The red chili peppers and the anaheim pepper will give it some pep but without the jalapeno you heat level will go down.

removing the seeds and membrane from the jalepenos will GREATLY reduce the heat they have... actually not all that hot once you've done this...

Good Luck!
