Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our Malagueta peppers in brine with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the bright earthy flavor of the Malagueta without the overwhelming heat.
