Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Wash the fresh hot peppers. Remove the stems and cut them in half lengthwise. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds. Finely chop the garlic and onion.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add the Hot Peppers

    Add the chopped hot peppers to the skillet and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender and slightly blistered.

  3. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to combine all the spices with the vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  4. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a fresh finish. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
