About
As with any recipe using hot peppers, please be aware of the pepper juices on your hands. Coming in at between 200,000 and 300,000 Scoville units, Habanero peppers are one of the hottest peppers on the planet and wearing gloves is highly recommened. Using a food processor to chop the peppers is also a great option. I do enjoy putting my knife skills to work but in this application I will use the food processor. Not only does it save time, you can avoid the very strong pepper fumes. Be sure to use the pulse action of the processor and take your time, you want finely chopped peppers not pepper mash.
