Notes: We made this dish, and others
when the family was in St. Maarten in 2006. We didn't have
scallops so we used chicken. It was great.
Note: The rocotillo has been described as the
best eating chile pepper in the world. People speak
of its fullness of flavor combined with a virtual absence
of heat. It has all the aromatic nature of the Scotch Bonnet,
and the lack of heat allows you to consume large quantities
without feeling that your mouth has turned to cinders.
It ranks around the Ancho and Poblano in terms of heat.
