Rawit peppers are crunchy with a fruity, spicy flavor and are known to carry a lingering, fiery heat. Rawit peppers can be consumed fresh, out-of-hand, or utilized in cooking methods such as frying, roasting, sautéing, boiling, and steaming. When fresh, the peppers are often paired with fried fish or fritters and are served in small paper bags with the food to be consumed in between bites for a spicy kick. Rawit peppers can also be ground into sauces, marinades, and pastes, or they can be sliced and added to salads, soups, curries, and stir-fries. In addition to cooking methods, the peppers can be pickled with vinegar, salt, sugar, and vegetables such as cucumbers and carrots and are served in jars as a condiment. In Indonesia, rawit peppers are popularly served with satay, which are grilled meats, mixed into nasi goreng or fried rice, and compliment flavors of seafood and fried tofu. It is also common to find a bowl of the fresh peppers on restaurant tables so the peppers can be added at any point into the meal to deepen the flavor of the dishes. Rawit pairs well with lime, lemongrass, basil, vinegar, shallots, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, seafood, pineapple, mango, durian, and peanuts.
