I do a lot of mixing and matching of ingredients, some of which come straight out of jars – like these three friends above. Contrary to what I thought it would be like, the Thai red curry paste is not hot at all; just very flavorful! But the chipotles certainly added quite a bite!
So I took Mexican and Thai ingredients and added in some French bleu cheese dressing and made a delightful “secret sauce” for our cheeseburgers today. This was surprisingly delicious! I didn’t put any other condiments on my burger – just a fat slice of fresh tomato. Oh, Happy Day!
Must do again soon!

I, too, assumed red curry paste would be very hot. I must try it.

This information is from a sample of one. Other brands may be different. You know a lot more about peppers than the average bear. ;->

I’m not sure how much I know other than that I really like peppers.

But you always know when to de-seed/de-vein and when to leave them in. We have had exposure to so few varieties compared to what I read on your blog. It has made me more adventurous – BUT – we still stay away from those little orange lanterns!

I stay away from habaneros too, although I have had some very tasty hot sauces made from them. I only leave the seeds in very young chili peppers.

Gary popped one of those habaneros into his mouth one time without knowing what it was. I had just picked up three of them from the grocery store because they were cute. This was about 25 years ago, and we have NEVER forgotten the incident!

I never know what I am going to come up with, so I just make enough for myself for one meal. Easy to stir up more another time . . . or try something different! ;->

I use this red curry paste often in cooking, but never paired it with either blue cheese dressing nor chipotles. Sounds like a very interesting “secret sauce”!
By the way, I highly recommend the the green curry paste of the same company.

I’ll look for it. I was afraid of excess heat. I try to experiment with something new with each shopping trip.

Same here. Then I find so many things in the fridge that I don’t really need… 😀
