send me some , I need the seeds : LOL

But I would pickle some with some carrots, cauliflower, celery, like Greek style pepperoncini. Actually they are similar.

I didn't think that Parones were very HOT ?

"...Not only are they deliciously sweet, nutty and ever so slightly bitter, but every now and then youâÂÂll get a really hot one in the bunch, earning them the nickname of âÂÂRussian Rouletteâ peppers...."

"...as the season goes on and the weather gets very hot/dry (in August and September) the harvest will deliver some very hot little peppers for sure!..."

Here is a link that might be useful: Pimientos de Padrón: the Russian Roulette peppers!

Don't know that you can mellow them out much after they develop the full flavor except by diluting their flavor by mixing them with other strong flavors. So using them sparingly in other words

For example, you can dry them, grind them into powder like many do with their dried chili peppers, and then use that powder to spicy season other dishes.

You can pickle them by mixing a few of them in with lots of sweet peppers for a sweet n' hot pickle taste.

You can also chop and freeze them, either in a sheet or ice cube trays, and then use a cube or a broken off part of the sheet (like peanut brittle) for flavoring other dishes.

Hope this helps.
