Fresh local organic jalapeño peppers, a medium-heat Mexican chile with thick, crisp green flesh and glossy, taut skin. The skin sometimes shows fine surface striations called corking, which forms as the pepper grows faster than its skin can stretch, a sign of a well-matured fruit rather than a flaw. Jalapeños hold their crunch whether eaten raw or cooked, which is part of why they show up across so many styles of cooking. Slice raw into salsas and salads, roast or char for rajas, stuff and bake for chiles rellenos, or pickle whole for a tangy, crunchy condiment. Removing the seeds and white pith cuts most of the heat, while leaving them in brings the full kick. Pairs well with lime, cilantro, cotija, corn, and black beans.
