Any reason you let them all ripen to red? I personally find that the sweetness sometimes interferes with the taste I expect
I can't speak for OP, but for me it is just a different flavor profile. You do have to account for the added sweetness and fruitiness, but it can really open up the complexity of whatever dish you are making. It takes some experimentation for sure though to figure out how to balance the sweetness of fully ripe peppers.
If you want a really sweet heat, a mango hot sauce/salsa with mango, hot red peppers, onion, lime juice and salt makes for a simple and delicious topping. They also work well in a chimichurri, where the fruitiness of the red pepper mixes well with the herbs and the garlic.
For pico de gallo, tomatillo salsas, or stuffed peppers, I much prefer green peppers, as you want that punch of tangy/sour.
This is the secret knowledge I was hoping for! Thank you!!
