I got a shitload of habanero peppers for christmas as a joke gift, but I've no idea what to do with them anymore. I've made chili salt already, I froze a couple of them and I've preserved a couple in wodka. I'll also make some sambal tomorrow, but that'll only keep for a few weeks I think.
Any suggestions on what to do with the rest?

Define "shitload".
Regardless, pickle them, and use as needed.

30-40 of them are left, more than I'd normally use in years. Especially since the gf hates spicyness.
Make a huge batch of chili with them.
Dice some for scrambled eggs in the morning.
Dry and grind into powder for a nice chili pepper spice to add to dishes.
Go ham and eat a bunch of them, regretting it immediately afterwards.

>30-40 of them are left
That's a good haul.
I usually go through a dozen or so a week, and they keep pretty well in the fridge.
I'd slice em' thin and toss them in a pickle solution.
That way you'll have access to the ones you don't eat right away in about a week or so.

Shit man, 12 of those a week can't be healthy. Sure your stomach hasn't got holes in it by now?

you build up a tolerance to spiciness, but it also doesn't actually do any damage. birds can eat spicy peppers because they don't have capsaicin receptors. it just tricks you into thinking it's burning you, probably as a defense mechanism.

I find them too hot to be enjoyed raw, but I think the ol' Hab is the perfect amount of heat for cooking with, and I love the citrusy flavor they impart, so I toss in one or two with most everything I make.
I have them with eggs in the mornings, and pretty much with every protein I make for the evening meal. Adding two sliced peppers to the meal is the perfect combo between spicy flavor and heat, for me at least. Either sliced thinly, or diced up with garlic, ginger, or both garlic AND ginger.
Habs are the bomb, anon.

>probably as a defense mechanism
And for good reason too. Before you built your tolerance did your stomach hurt and your shits burn? I used to love eating spicy food now a couple years later and now eating a decent portion of a spicy meal spits fire out my asshole the next morning
>>7207233
Excuse my ignorance, but do peppers get less hot if you cook them or something? Cause two habanero's in a meal seems insane to me. Could just be dat tolerance though.
>>7207276
No, not really. I use to think Jalapenos and banana peppers were spicy, but after eating peppers for years, only some of the really stupid hot peppers are spicy for me anymore.
Just gotta build up dat tolerance for most people.
>>7207276
>Excuse my ignorance, but do peppers get less hot if you cook them or something?
I don't think it's that the peppers are less hot as much as the heat is less concentrated.
When I add them to my stir fry, eggs, and such, the heat gets distributed in the fats and oils throughout the entire dish, which I enjoy. I do always include something that will help dissipate the heat if it gets too much, though, such as rice, or bread. When I want a heat bomb and load up a dish with peppers, like with a curry recipe, I include a small serving of plain white yogurt as an emergency cool down, as I have found the cool texture and fats in the yogurt offers almost instant relief, but I am a sucker for punishment.
There could be a tolerance aspect as well, though, because I've been eating these bastards for years now.
When in doubt, plain whole milk yogurt can save you.
What kind of a joke is that?

its a ha ha kind of joke

Jelly.
Habanero jelly.
Raspberry habanero jelly.
Mango habanero jelly.
Blackberry hananero jelly.
Dry them in your oven on low heat for like 8-10 hours. Cool, then crush them however you want (blender is best but wash that shit WELL).
Now you have hot pepper flakes you can put into literally any recipe to make it spicier, and they'll keep as long as you need them to if you put them in a spice jar with a decent seal.
You should preserve them.

That can work but it's more scotch bonnets for jerk stuff.
>>7207276
Some do, normal habs do, but chocolate habs seem to transcend the cooking process, they keep their flavor and heat.
>>7207824
Preserve them? It's only 30 peppers you twat. Are you stupid or just daft?
>>7207257
lol yeah, that happens to me. drinking milk or eating something with dairy might help, but i don't think you can do much about that.
>>7207956
>that overly aggressive person who gets angry and rude over literally nothing
nobody likes when you do this
>>7207962
"nobody" likes when you speak for more people than yourself.
Char it all under the broiler in the oven, blend with vinegar, sauteed garlic, boiled shallots, honey, lime zest and juice, and salt to make epic hot sauce.

What's with you asshole's and the honey in a bunch of threads? Fuck your honey, it doesn't belong in everything.
>>7208342
Did you get that honey shit from the food network or that raspy voiced garden gnome racheal ray?
Throw a while bunch in a jar or olive oil and heat it up so the flavor and great goes into the oil. I use a microwave and nuke it for a min at a time. Keeps for a while but Idk how long. You can do the same with garlic, and as long as bubbles aren't coming from the garlic its safe.
Then use the oil for whatever. Tastes great its soups. I like to put it in my miso
>>7207081
Just fucking dry them, you faggot.
Jesus Christ, how fucking stupid are you?
>>7207979
he was right we dont like you
