Make Your Own “Crushed Red Pepper”
I had several nice Jalepeno peppers that I needed to use up. Most of them had matured and turned red. I decided to just slice and dehydrate them and then chop them up in the little electric coffee grinder spice grinder. Here they are dried. I think they are kind of pretty!
Just a quick moment or two in the spice grinder and it was done!
I gingerly tasted a little pinch. Nicely hot, but not overwhelming! I’m glad I tried this. It was a good call.
This gives me a charming little item to experiment with in my cooking. Actually, I think this would be a good thing to do with ANY peppers you might have on hand. I can envision a whole array of lovely spices made this way.
