This is simply wonderful and I can see so many uses for it. I finely chopped one green and one red jalapeno and then proceeded with the recipe. After mixing I formed it into a log, rolled in parsley flakes, and then froze wrapped in wax paper. I thinly sliced it and served with Bacon Waffles #141878 for dinner. I loved it! I plan to use the rest on chicken breasts or a steak. Thank you Bergy for a wonderful addition to my kitchen.
