To prepare jalapeno peppers, start by washing them thoroughly under cool running water. You can then decide how to handle the heat. For less spice, carefully slice off the stem and remove the seeds and white membranes inside using a small knife. For maximum heat, leave the seeds and membranes intact. Slice, dice, or mince the peppers according to your recipe's needs. They can be used raw in salsas and salads, or cooked by sautéing, roasting, or grilling to mellow their flavor and heat.
