The Serrano chile pepper, botanically part of Capsicum annuum is also known as chile Seco. Its name Serrano translates to mean “from the mountains” and refers to the Sierra mountain region located in the Mexican states of Puebla and Hidalgo where the pepper originated. They are one of the hottest chile peppers available commercially in the United States today. They are also one of the most common peppers utilized in Mexican cuisine.
The versatile Serrano chile pepper can be utilized in both fresh and cooked applications. Used raw its flavor will complement guacamole, pico de gallo and chutney. The Serrano chile is a classic ingredient in both southwestern and Mexican cuisine. Their thick flesh makes them perfect for roasting or smoking, a process which will enhance and deepen their flavor. Chopped raw or roasted Serrano’s can be baked into cornmeal based breads and scones. The Serrano is also a popular pepper for preparing pickled or en escabeche, most commonly along with carrots and onions. Their flavor and heat will pair well with tomatillo, avocado, onion, tomato and corn, herbs such as cilantro and oregano, cream based sauces, cheeses such as cotija and feta, and tequila based cocktails. Keep fresh Serrano peppers in the refrigerator and use within one to two weeks.
The Serrano pepper originated in the mountainous region of northern Puebla and Hidalgo, Mexico. The majority of Serrano production today comes out of Mexico with the states of Sinaloa, Veracruz, Nayarit and Tamaulipas contributing the bulk of supply at approximately 180,000 tons of pods a year. In the United States the southwest contributes a modest supply of peppers. Unlike many peppers the bulk of production of Serrano peppers goes to fresh purposes with only ten percent of supply being processed. In Mexico popular varieties are Panuco, Tampiqueno and Altamira. In the United States a popular variety known as Hidalgo was released by the Texas Agricultural Experiment station in 1985 and is known for its superior disease resistance.
