Hungarian Hot Wax

Hungarian Hot Wax chillies

Starts yellow, ripens through orange to red, and the heat is moderate — enough to warm but not to punish. The waxy flesh is thick and perfect for stuffing. An excellent first chilli for cautious growers who don't want to play roulette with their dinner.

Stuffed hot wax peppers

Halve lengthways, stuff with a mixture of cream cheese, herbs, and a little garlic. Grill until the cheese melts and the pepper softens. Mild enough to eat like a snack, warm enough to know it's a chilli.
