I love it when I come across a recipe that I know immediately I must make as soon as possible.

I'm not sure what they'd call it in the UK - because I know they do have different names for things. Anywho, its a long, thin-ish, very dark green pepper and it is sublime. The flavor tends to vary from pepper to pepper - they can be, and often are, mild - yet some are quite hot. Either way they're delicious. If you're in an area with farmer's markets, that could be a source. If not, you could mix in a jalapeno with the bell peppers ... or leave it out. I do think you can make a fine fajita without it - just use a mix of red, yellow and green peppers. <br /><br />Lola - thank you! Peppers are one of my most favorite foods ... as you can tell, I'm sure. :)<br /><br />doggybloggy - you're right, I would do well to recall that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! (And a photography course wouldn't hurt either!)<br /><br />Duo - yes, the lime/mine dressing *was* off the chain! I want to use it on/in everything!! <br /><br />Btw, the July issue of BA is really, really good. Its the BBQ issue and well worth getting your hands on a copy.

Theres no way I could get a fresh adobo pepper here. Do u think it would be good without it ? I dont even know what an adobo pepper tastes like. Is it hot? I would love to try this. I love fajitas (but have only used the mix packets to make them *gasp*).Heavenly Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283933713343453486noreply@blogger.com
