Pickled Serrano Peppers...
Was in L.A. last weekend and we got a French Dip type sandwich from a
local chain that was like a big Itallian Beef grinder w/onions, peppers and dipped in the AuJus. The sandwich was topped with these delicious hot pickled peppers. Anyone know this joint? They had the same shape and size of the serrano but I didn't think they packed the heat of a raw serrano but they were crunchy and delicious... Anyone know if you can get these peppers from a can anywhere? Thanks, B |

It's a large pad type drive thru place in front of a shopping mall. I think you are correct on the pepper and have had them for years on other sandwiches. This place sliced the whole pepper into little 1/2 inch chunks and had a great mouth feel and heat. They seemed a little spicier than the traditional Chicago Dog pepper but may have just seemed that way since there was much more than a single pepper on the sandwich. Maybe the key is to try and pickle the serrano and serve them similarly. |

It's pronounced with a hard L sound like Pillows.If you go order the Italian Beef with peppers, shrooms and the hot peppers. They dip the entire sandwich in aujus. Good stuff.

If this is indeed Portillos, then most likely the Peppers used (like the
Hot Dog Peppers) are Sport Peppers, not Serrano. They are similar looking Peppers, but the mouth feel is different. Serranos I have found to be a more fleshy-chewy-tough than the Sport Pepper. I suppose they can be used in a pinch, and typically I use Sport Peppers like others, to make homemade Giardeniera. Mark |
