Dice the Habaneros
With a small, sharp knife, carefully slice the habaneros in half and remove the seeds and membrane. Then finely dice. Use caution when handling hot peppers. Gloves are recommended.
Habanero peppers are small peppers with a slightly fruity flavour and are super spicy. They are far spicier than jalapeno peppers. Look for habaneros with bright-coloured fruit, bright green stem and a firm shape for the best flavour.
