Ghost peppers can be eaten alone as a dare or can be enjoyed by those that like intense heat. Otherwise, these are usually used sparingly in dishes that benefit from a touch of heat or spice.
Ghost pepper seeds are inedible and are known to produce intense mouth pain when eaten. The pain can last up to 30 minutes, so be careful!
The Scoville rating for ghost peppers is as high as 1,000,000!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups whole ghost peppers (can substitute ½ cup ghost pepper purée)
1 ½ cups non-iodized salt
Directions
Rinse peppers and remove stems and seeds.
Place peppers in blender and blend until mixture is very fine.
In a clean jar, mix peppers and salt. Shake.
Over the next few days, shake once per day. This helps to distribute the salt.
