Overview
Hot Portugal is an open-pollinated hot pepper carried by Harris and Stokes that looks so much like Jimmy Nardello's you will want to label the plants. Tall, erect plants bear shiny, tapered pods 5 to 8 inches long and about an inch wide, dark green ripening to an intense crimson at roughly 64 days. The heat is serious, and the flesh has genuine pepper flavor rather than just burn. It ripens quickly, which suits shorter seasons. Best allowed to go fully red on the plant, then used fresh in stews and stir-fries or dried and crushed into flakes.
