Jalapenos are not my favorite pepper.  I don't want to use them in my salsa nor eat them raw.  Any suggestions what to do with a bag of jalapenos?

 

 

A halved jalapeño isn't a bad addition when cooking a pot of dried beans -- adds an aromatic note. Would work just as well with a previously frozen pepper, since you take it out at the end anyway.

I think a lot of the non-traditional things I use jalapeños for (shredded in slaw, or mixed into herby salad dressings) might not translate for someone who doesn't like them, but I'm not entirely sure. In general I find that the grassiness of the pepper pairs well with herbs.
