Satay Sliders
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.

serves 8
total time: 20 minutes
Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium-high.
Mix the meat with the green onion, garlic and ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the meat and portion into 8 patties. Coat each with a small amount of vegetable oil. Grill, turning once, until cooked through – 6 to 8 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the peanut butter in the microwave to soften, or in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in the juice, tamari and Asian garlic sauce or sriacha.
When the burgers are cooked through, serve them on the buns with a generous amount of satay sauce and your desired toppings.
