Toreados, Condiment Weaponry!

These may look like innocent little Jalapeno, strewn about a plain-white plate without regard to aesthetic, or staging, but I'd advise not touching your eyeball after touching one of these. Not for several hours anyway. This batch of authentic Jalapeno has been hot-fired in olive oil, granulated garlic and salt. Once cooled, put them in a closed dish and refrigerate. Then, the next time you're making up a condiment for a sandwich, chop one up and blend it with..... what ever you like. No sandwich will ever be boring or bland again. Sam.
