Homemade Paneer Grilled Kabobs in Spicy and Tangy Moroccan Chermoula Sauce Served with Easy and Quick Homemade Naan
At first glance these eye-catching chile peppers look like red jalapeno. However, they have a different flavor and are less meaty than Jalapeno. Red Fresnos are great roasted and added to salsas. Try grilling them alongside your steaks or in kabobs.
When roasting these they should char, blister, and become soft. Try substituting these in your favorite chile recipes.
