What we usually do when we add too much hot pepper and the dish becomes hopelessly spoiled? That's right, throw or entertained any eccentric friend who eats a jalapeno on a bet. We suggest you take the time and read the five simple tips that can possibly save the situation.
Not all hot peppers are the same in severity, and clearly follow recipes, without damaging its dishes, it is quite difficult. Before adding a specified amount of pepper, I incise it and try to edge. We should not rely on the sharpness of the tip of the pepper, because cutting it can be much sharper.
Well, if the pepper was not sharp, but what if you are not pre-tested it on visual, but he was terribly spicy dish and now hopelessly flawed? Or, for example, you come to the country for lovers of spicy food and found that their notion of little spicy is not the same as yours (and often exactly what happens).
In general, what to do if you really want to try an exotic dish, but it burns to tears, or are you waiting for guests and not exactly calculate the severity of prepared meals?
Method № 1
Depending on what kind of dish you pereperchili, you can add one of the ingredients to reduce the severity. For example, if the soup, add more broth; if bean or tomato dish, you need to add more rice.
Method № 2
Milk and milk products is excellent to help put out the fire in your mouth. If you ate something very sharp, it is better not to drink water or beer. Ideal - milk. Yogurt and sour cream, incidentally, is also not bad enough to cope with this problem.
Method № 3
Some people swear that it helps spoon peanut butter, so if you have the opportunity, you can try to seize peanut, almond or sesame (tahini) paste.
Method № 4
Acid - is another way to remove the sharpness. Vinegar, lemon, lime - can use any acid that will not greatly affect and change the taste quality dishes.
Method № 5
Sugar is also quite copes with the sharpness, especially when combined with the acid. If you are prepared spicy tomato sauce or spicy beans in a tomato, a spoon of sugar and just a drop of vinegar is clearly not hurt either.
Also like to dwell separately on working with hot peppers. If he is burning and you when cutting dirty your hands, and then forgot about it and touched the face or eyes, the skin, wash it best milk. Especially the eyes! When working with hot peppers is best to wear thin gloves. If they do not, then it is better to put your hands on a layer of vegetable oilsThat does not give burning essential oils remain in your hands.
As for the taste qualities, I do not know if it works peanut pasteBut the other four ways I use quite often, so I can say that it works in 90% of cases. The remaining 10% - it's an incredible amount of pepper, which no acid, milk or sugar can not be corrected.
