Naga Jolokia, also known as ghost chili peppers, are initially sweet, fruity, and smoky, followed by a scorching heat that builds in intensity and lingers on the palate. Red ghost chili peppers should be used with extreme caution as the intense spice may be too overpowering and can render a dish inedible. It is recommended to be used sparingly, and gloves and goggles should be worn when handling and slicing the pepper. Red ghost chili peppers are well suited for both raw and cooking methods such as stir-frying, simmering, and sautéing. When fresh, Red ghost chili peppers can be pureed into sauces, relishes, and marinades, chopped into salsa, or dried, ground into a powder, and used as a spice or rub on grilled meats. The peppers can also be charred and blended with herbs and aromatics to make a smoky hot sauce, cooked into jelly, diced and mixed into curries, stews, and chilis, or served in fish-based dishes. In addition to sauces, Red ghost peppers have become a popular flavoring in novelty snack items such as cheeseballs, candied bacon, and ice cream. Red ghost chili peppers pair well with pineapple, mango, meats such as poultry, beef, pork, and fish, garlic, onions, ginger, cilantro, tomatoes, beans, and rice.
