Baby Red Pepper Anyone?

As our summer garden is beginning to dye out, our little red pepper plant is finally producing fruit. We picked the first one a few weeks ago, and there are about 5 more ripening on the plant. This is my first time growing peppers, so I wasn't sure what to expect. For a month or two that little plant just sat there not doing much, I assume it was working on its roots. Then one day it had blossoms. Ella and I were so excited, since we weren't sure if it was going to produce anything at all. Long story short this is our first teeny tiny red bell pepper. We made a delicious coconut curry chickpea recipe and added the pepper to it. We are looking forward to eating the rest of them!

 

PS: We have about 2 dozen pablano/ancho peppers in the garden, not sure what we are going to do with them all! Any suggestions? They are SPICY!
