Siling mahaba
(Siling maha, SIling pangsisang, Siling espada, Siling Tagalog, Long Pepper, Finger Chili, Siling espada)
Siling mahaba is a traditional type of hot pepper that's commonly used in the Philippines. Also known as siling pangsisang and siling espada, these hot peppers are usually bright green in color, but get redder with age. The peppers pack the same kind of heat as jalapenos – they're moderately spicy, but much milder than the other Filipino hot peppers called siling labuyo.
Siling mahaba is often used in traditional local dishes such as sinigang, a sour soup that's typically served as a main dish. The hot peppers are also used in dishes such as sisig, pinangat, and dinuguan.
