Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

i planted a punnet of Green Bell Peppers and i think iv got a garden full of jalapenos.

can someone confirm for me?

Take a bite and let us know.

my 9 year old son has put his hand up to be a tester

Righto just bit the end off, not hot at all quite a sweet flavor

i have lots of these as well, ive been calling them sweet paprica... no idea if im right or not they are nice and tasty though

cheers
pete

looks more like a banana pepper to me then a jalopeno.

definitely not jalapeno's, they are shorter & straight.
wife says sweet variety of capsicum.

I have exactly the same growing in my garden. Sweet Capsicum mix brought from "B"

yep got heeps of them to they are so nice in a stir fry and look great in the garden

All the jalapenos I have seen are green to start with, then turn red as they ripen.

Looks like what we call sweet banana pepper. Guess the long banana shape and yellow color is where "banana" name comes from.

Looks just like what we call Capsicum Long Sweet Yellow....One of my favorites and usually a heavy producer.

They are very nice pickled and eaten on sandwiches! They also come in hot variety and there is no way to tell them from the sweet ones except for taste. I grow them every year.

Roast on a hot plate barbie
and peel same as bell pepper
Tastes sweeter and less grassy.
Dry the red ones for soups and stuff
Stuff them with mince and rice and bake in the oven.
Its all win

Oh - that reminds me of a recipe my mom makes. She makes them by the batch and they never last very long.

Using seeded pickled banana peppers.
Stuff each with an anchovie and blue cheese.
Place in baking or other deep dish.
Poor anchovie oil + olive oil enough to ensure they stay moist.
Cover with another plate and weigh down with can goods.
Allow to sit in pantry or other cool place (but not as cold as the fridge) for a few days.

Perhaps roasting as above instead of pickled would be just as good.

Enjoy with crusty bread! Oh man - I'm starving now!
