By Jocelyn Davidson


It does not really matter if you have a profession as a cook or just a simple housewife. You can easily create a dish to your family's liking if you just follow the recipe and use the right ingredients. If you wish to have a spicy dish, then you simply have to get the proper New Mexico hot green chile to use for that dish.

There are different types of this ingredient that you can actually use for your ethnic dishes, especially those dishes that originated from American Southwest, India, and Asia. Each of these types can complete certain dishes. Here are some of the different types of the peppers that you can use in an ethnic dish.

First, there are the anaheim, long green pepper, california greens, and chili verde. These are large mild, chili peppers that are known for their thick, bright, and shiny greenish skin. You can easily find the said pepper in supermarkets. While you can find them and use them all year-round, the best season to use them in your dish is during the summer.

Pimento, sweet banana pepper, banana chili, and banana pepper. It should be easy to identify these variety when you look at the banana shape of a pepper. For these banana-shaped varieties, their color changes from the pale yellow to a deeper one when they mature. Also, remember to not confuse them with yellow wax pepper.

Cascabel. This is also another type of spice that one can use when making a hot dish. However, this is unlike the other types where it is better to use it fresh. Instead of fresh, it will be easier for a cook to develop the rich nutty flavor you want to have if the cascabel is dried. You can toast this so that you can achieve that flavor.

Another type to list are the cayenne pepper, ginnie pepper, bird pepper, and finger chili. You will be needing any of these peppers when you are making Cajun recipes. These are also used in sauces and salsas. You can easily identify them with their wrinkled and very pungent thick fleshed fruit.

Hungarian cherry pepper, creole cherry pepper, bird cherry pepper, and cherry pepper. It should be easy for you to add any of these peppers to your dish. They are great in making your dish spicy. Normally, the said pepper have a diameter of not more than two inches. They are heavily seeded yet fleshy too.

The ever so popular jalapeno peppers can also be classified as one of those spicy peppers people can use in their ethnic dishes. When it comes to the jalapeno peppers you can use for your dish, it is better for them to be smoke dried. You can make the jalapeno peppers significantly spicier compared to unripe peppers when you smoke-dry it.

The fresno pepper is another one too. The bright green color will eventually change to the orange and red color when it fully matures. You can easily identify the fresno peppers because they have conical shapes. They are a bit similar to the jalapeno peppers, only that they have a thinner wall. They are great to add to your salsa.
